Manchester United's crazy stat under Rúben Amorim

Manchester United have, for the first time, had two consecutive victories in the Premier League since the arrival of Ruben Amorim on the bench in November 2024. After beating Sunderland on the 7th day, the Red Devils confirmed their renewed form by winning at Anfield against Liverpool (1-2) this Sunday, ending a 9-year drought without success on the Reds' pitch. This positive series allows Manchester United to climb to 9th place in the standings, just 2 points behind Liverpool.

The success in Liverpool is all the more significant as it was built from the first seconds thanks to Bryan Mbeumo, author of a lightning goal in the 2nd minute. Decisive entries from players like Harry Maguire sealed the victory despite relentless late pressure from the Reds. For Ruben Amorim, this first series of consecutive victories in the league marks an important step at Manchester United, proof that his system and his tactical choices are (finally) starting to bear fruit.
