'Not coping very well'published at 19:57 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United
Jamie Carragher
Former Liverpool defender on Sky Sports
Image source, Getty ImagesIf you look at the signings Liverpool have brought in, the full-backs are quite small so there's no real great physical presence. Set-piece wise, is the team big enough? It looks like they are not coping very well with set pieces and are struggling with the style of the Premier League right now.
I don't think it's one glaring problem, it's lots of things. Some of their best players from last season are not at the same levels and it's not quite happening for Liverpool now.
They felt invincible last season, now as soon as someone beat them they have lost four in a row. It's like Manchester City last season and you couldn't believe they were losing and it's the same with Liverpool now.
They have got to get out of it quickly but we're not going to see the best of Liverpool until the second half of the season.
With Liverpool sometimes there is a mindset of not wanting to do the dirty work.
'We know how difficult it is to win here at Anfield'published at 19:56 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Obviously I will be smiling when I win games and I will be smiling less when I lose games. I am very, very happy and very pleased with this win.
"We know how difficult it is to win here at Anfield. It has been ten years since the last time the club won here, we have put that aside now, happy with that. I'm enjoying the moment but I am now already thinking of the next one because if you don't win the next one we are going to get back in the same feeling and moment we were in before.
"I didn't enjoy the second half much, We did not have much of the ball and I think we quit trying to play and have the ball because of their pressure. They are very good at doing that. They put more bodies up front and that makes it difficult for our centre backs to play out from the back. But, the resilience that we showed and the character to defend our box was impressive, but I know and I want our team to play better on the ball.
"I want the team to be confident and for every player to play their own game and have a good feeling to go into the pitch and help the team grow into the best shape that we can.
"We have a lot of talent in this team and a lot of good players sometimes it is difficult to show that when you are not winning. Winning two games now I hope we come with a lot more confidence for the next one. We need to have confidence and arrogant but at the same time with respect for who we are playing."
'Until they fix that, they can't win the leaguepublished at 19:55 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United
Jamie Carragher
Former Liverpool defender on Sky SportsLiverpool are a much better team than Manchester United so if Manchester United are to come to Anfield and win it was to be like that, get a bit of luck with a late goal.
Liverpool are not at the races at all defensively and until they fix that, they can't win the league.
'Maguire's experience is really important'published at 19:52 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to BBC Sport: "I am really happy for them [the players], they had great spirit, we should play better with the ball but the spirit of the team, that is the things we are always talking about. A good day for the fans but now let us focus on the next one.
On what back-to-back wins mean: "It's everything combined for the fans if you ask them on two wins in a row after so many years, it is really important for me that is back-to-back, it doesn't matter about the opponent it is just the feeling of winning. The important thing is to think three in the row and that's the focus.
"Sometimes we struggle to choose the right time to press. We didn't start well after the equaliser but we controlled the momentum and pushing them to their half when they had the ball is important and that is where we won the game."
On Harry Maguire: "Maguire is so important in this moment. When we have a moment you can feel the team struggle a lot but I was trying to prepare the way he plays and the way he controls those set pieces and you saw it today, he scored a goal but that experience is really important.
"It's one more win, enjoy it. Tomorrow let's forget about it and focus on the next one right away."
'It is not going to mean anything if next week we do not win'published at 19:49 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
More from Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes speaking to Sky Sports on the shape giving Liverpool issues: "Our shape always gives teams issues. It is a little bit ungrateful to talk about shape when we lose games and in the same way I am grateful to talk about it when we win. We always believe in the system, whether we win or lose, but it's about doing the right things in the right moments.
"We had moments we had to suffer and we did that in the game and the main thing is to do the same thing and believe what we prepare is what is going to give us the win.
On back to back wins for the first time under Amorim: "It is not going to mean anything if next week we do not win the game. We know the demand of this club is very high and you have to win each game ahead.
"Everyone was worried about these back to back wins but we just have to focus on the next game. It is massive for us to win today to get closer in the table to not be far from where we want to be in the table."
'If you lose four times in a row you have to have concerns'published at 19:47 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
More from Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to BBC Match of the Day on the triple change making a positive impact: "I think people tend to forget how many chances we already had when we were 1-0 down in the first half. When you are losing there is more focus on the ball you play wrong, but in the first half Isak one on one with the keeper, Gakpo hitting the post twice, so even then we had chances to go 1-1.
"In the second half it's true that because the other team gets more and more tired and we create more. This happened against Palace, happened against Chelsea, happened today.
"Of course there are concerns. If you lose four times in a row you have to have concerns, but we know if we keep bringing these types of performances then we will have a fair chance of winning more football games. If we do a few things better then we will have an even better chance, but you are never 100% sure if in the next game you are again able to create eight, nine, ten open chances.
"Again these players played so long being 1-0 behind and fought to come back. If we have that mentality then there is a lot of positivity to bring into the upcoming games. Losing four times in a row definitely does something to a team."
'No excuses'published at 19:39 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to Sky Sports: "If you play a United side that comes with a low block and comes with a long balls and you know it is going to be difficult. It makes it even more difficult if it is after one minute.
"I think if you lose a game after you have lost four, you would have more emotion but there is no excuses. We need to focus on ourselves we had so many chances and we should score more, we should have defended better than we did.
"I brought on substitutions to turn the game around and they created more opportunities. But you don't have the same structure in defending and set pieces.
On the feeling of four losses: "It is a difficult moment because you know how it works in football. The main thing is, is that the players stick together."
On Mo Salah's form: "I think after games like this it is normal people are focused on individual players. We talked about the signings and now we will focus on him."
'We had enough chances to score more than one goal'published at 19:32 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It is always difficult to play against a team that defends in a low block and mainly plays the long ball. It makes it even more difficult when you go one down after one minute when one of our players are on the floor.
"If you would have told me before the game that against the low block, against so many long balls, that we would have created as many chances as we did I would have not expected us to lose. But that is what we did. We had enough chances to score more than one goal, but on the other hand again conceding two and one of the two was the set piece."
On today's defeat being a repeat of previous losses: "Yes. Of course we concede maybe one or two extra chances apart from the goals we conceded but you always have to take extra risk when you are 1-0 down. Taking that into account, we hardly conceded a chance and we are waiting for us to score a goal, we have to defend the set piece. Like against Palace and a few other moments this season, we've conceded on a set piece and that is hard to take because it is very difficult to win a game of football if you have a negative balance on set pieces."
'The sloppiness in decision making is costing Liverpool'published at 19:28 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United
Roy Keane
Former Manchester United midfielder on Sky SportsLiverpool looked edgy and they are forcing things. There are nerves in Liverpool and that's on the back of three defeats, they are only human and when you lose three games, doubts kick in and you think 'are we going to lose again?'
You still thought Liverpool would get the job done. The sloppiness in decision making is costing Liverpool.
Image source, Getty Images'Nothing wrong' with first goalpublished at 19:24 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Troy Deeney
Match of the Day punditOn whether the build-up to the first goal should have been stopped for a head injury to Alexis Mac Allister.
First and foremost it’s Virgil Van Dijk that elbows Mac Allister, so it’s his own player. If he’s down for 10-15 seconds, the referee has to come back but it’s in the middle of a counter-attacking action. The problem that’s happened with the rules is that everyone goes down now holding his face even if it’s their ankle, so the refs are in a real difficult situation.
There’s nothing wrong with what happened and if any Liverpool fan is saying that’s the reason they lost the game and the goal shouldn’t have stood, watch MOTD later on tonight and I’ll show you why that isn’t the case.
I love Virgil Van Dijk but there’s something going on on that left-hand side between him and Kerkez, because Mbeumo is on the floor and gets up and runs past Van Dijk to score the goal.
'Keep going and have a really good season'published at 19:19 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United
Roy Keane
Former Manchester United midfielder on Sky SportsThe team [Manchester United] does look like they have goals in this team. Last year they didn't have that threat.
There will be good vibes and it's great to be successful, now you have to keep going and have a really good season. If they put in performances like that he [Ruben Amorim] will be here for three years.
Image source, Getty Images'The biggest win in my time at Manchester United'published at 19:17 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to Sky Sports: "I think that was the biggest win in my time at Manchester United. It means a lot today but tomorrow it won't mean a lot. It's three points and it's a good victory.
"We fought for every ball, we lost our composure in the second half but the spirit was there and that is the most important thing, if you have the spirit you can win any game.
"It was a good day and now I am concerned about Brighton. I will enjoy it but let's focus on Brighton."
On what went well:
"We just saw the game and knew how important our set pieces are and the guys that have more experiences are on in the beginning.
"Every time we play in this environment well if you block well in the beginning you can feel the defence turning and we feel that in our stadium and all the big teams feel that. A good win.
"It will give us more confidence through the week and pleasure to our fans, they deserve it and that is in our hands. This is in the past now it's time to look at the future."
'We could have sunk and gone under but we got together'published at 19:14 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire speaking to BBC Match of the Day on the key to winning: "Staying in the game when they scored that equaliser. Although they had a lot of pressure in the game in the second half and Gakpo hit the post, aside from that I don't think they made that many chances and we felt pretty comfortable. Then they open us up with a well-worked goal.
"We could have really sunk our heads and gone under in that moment but we got together, and that is the most pleasing thing. The crowd was right behind them, and our fans with what they have experienced in recent years must have been fearing the worst. To come back from that and score the winner was really important."
Postpublished at 19:12 BST 19 October
Harry Maguire's goal means Liverpool have conceded five goals from set-pieces in eight Premier League games this season.
They didn't concede any set-piece goals in their first eight Premier League games under Arne Slot last season.
Image source, Getty Images'That has been a long time coming'published at 19:11 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's been a long-time coming. It's been a tough place for us over recent years. We know how big it is for our fans. We have the cliche of it being 'only three points' but it is more than three points that today.
"It's massive for our club, for our fans and it is a great memory they are going to have. The lads are buzzing and as cliche as it is we need to build on it now and make sure to take the confidence from it and take the fighting spirit.
"We can play better on the ball, of course we can, we were sloppy at times, but there were times where we played through them and created numerous chances, especially in the first half.
"The fight and the spirit has got to be with us every game and that is something we need to make sure we show that against Brighton next Saturday. I'm sure the fans will have a good night."
On finally securing back to back league wins: "It's embarrassing really. It's not a stat that we should even be speaking about because it is an embarrassing stat to have. Now that's out of the way let's try and make it three [wins] on Saturday against Brighton, because we have to start putting a bit more consistency together. The last three or four years we'd put in a performance like this and the following game we come down again. We have set a bench mark, there are a lot of areas we can do more, we were hanging on there and defending for the last 30 minutes or so.
"We'll analyse it. The manager strives for perfection so I'm sure he will want us to play better than we did in the second half. Great fight, big spirit, big win, but again we have to go again."
'We know what these kind of games mean for our club'published at 19:08 BST 19 October
FT: Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes speaking to Sky Sports: "It's always good to win games. We know what these kind of games mean for our club and our fans and also for ourselves where we are right now.
"We know what it means for the fans and the club to play these rivalries. We wanted to do it because it is a long time since the club won at Anfield. It is very important so I am very happy to do it today.
"We knew that we had to win our duels. In the first ten minutes we knew they would try to start the game very strong. Also in the first half we understood that they were under pressure when they had time on the ball, the fans were putting them in a difficult position and booing for them to play quicker.
"We wanted to slow their game and we knew that would give massive spaces around the middle. In the second half we could have played a little bit more on the ball."
At a glance
Bryan Mbeumo gives Manchester United the lead after 63 seconds.
Cody Gakpo hits the woodwork three times while Bruno Fernandes misses a great chance to put United 2-0 up.
Gakpo equalises for Liverpool with 12 minutes left, only for Harry Maguire to head in United's winner.
Harry Maguire's late header secured Manchester United's first win at Anfield in nearly a decade and inflicted Liverpool's fourth successive defeat.
Cody Gakpo's strike with 12 minutes left looked like it would end Liverpool's losing streak, only for Maguire to head beyond Liverpool keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili six minutes from time.
Gakpo scored from close range after earlier hitting the woodwork three times, but Ruben Amorim's side continued to press forward, with Maguire providing a dramatic finale.
United stunned Liverpool by taking the lead inside two minutes, although it was a moment shrouded in controversy, referee Michael Oliver letting the play go on even though Alexis Mac Allister was lying prone with a head injury after being accidentally elbowed by team-mate Virgil van Dijk.
Bryan Mbeumo was not waiting around, applying the finish past Mamardashvili, deputising for the injured Alisson.
In an end-to-end encounter, United captain Bruno Fernandes wasted an opportunity to double their lead, shooting wide with the goal at his mercy, while Liverpool's fortunes were summed up by Gakpo hitting the woodwork twice before the break and once more in the second half in front of The Kop. The Dutchman also headed wide late on, when he looked certain to equalise for a second time.
United's new Belgian keeper Senne Lammens also distinguished himself by saving from Alexander Isak when he raced clear.
The second half was action-packed, with Maguire's late intervention giving United their first Anfield win since January 2016, while Liverpool have lost four games in a row for the first time since November 2014, under Brendan Rodgers.
Liverpool analysis: Slot's troubles deepen
Liverpool's fourth successive loss was barely thinkable after the ease with which they won last season's Premier League title, then built on that triumph by spending almost £450m on new talent.
The champions have been short of their best since the season started, with a series of dramatic wins snatched by late goals starting to become a distant memory after this latest defeat - insult added to injury by the fact it was inflicted by bitter rivals Manchester United at their Anfield fortress.
Liverpool's defensive vulnerability has been consistently exposed all season, with United taking fewer than two minutes to inflict punishment, although whether referee Oliver should have stopped play for Mac Allister's head injury is a serious point of debate.
It must be said Liverpool did not enjoy much luck, the woodwork struck three times, but they were, on too many occasions, ponderous and looking short of ideas - and also felt the wrath of their own supporters as frustrations grew.
Their last chance was a stoppage-time header Gakpo somehow diverted wide, leaving Liverpool's fans in despair and the United followers jubilant.
What was portrayed as a Liverpool blip now looks like it may be something more.
"If you lose four times in a row you need to be concerned" - Slot
Man Utd analysis: Maguire continues to prove his critics wrong
Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata, Robin van Persie, Carlos Tevez, John O'Shea, Ryan Giggs and Diego Forlan.
The list of Manchester United players who have scored winning goals at Anfield over the past couple of decades is not extensive.
But you can now add Maguire to it.
It says so much about his resilience that he is still a United player.
Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was willing to sell him to West Ham but the centre-back refused to go. When I spoke to Maguire in August after he had been left out of the opening game of the season and asked about his future, he said he believed he would get enough games.
He never lets his head drop. He always does his best.
There was criticism when he was preferred to Leny Yoro at Anfield but Amorim explained Maguire was going to be a major asset in the box.
He was. In the last frantic stages, he won headers and tackles. He didn't lose his cool when it would be easy to be caught up by a frenetic atmosphere and United were fighting for their lives.
But it was at the other end where Maguire made his decisive contribution - heading in from six yards after Fernandes had superbly volleyed a cross into his path - to give Amorim his long-awaited second successive Premier League win.
In an era where virtually every facet of a player's game can be measured, it is the one that can't - character - where Maguire really excels.
United spirit was decisive factor in win over Liverpool - Amorim

Match Facts
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 14 Premier League meetings with Manchester United (W7 D6), a 1-2 defeat at Old Trafford in August 2022. Indeed, since the start of 2018-19, this is the fewest defeats any side to face the Red Devils 3+ times in the competition has had against them.
Manchester United are winless in their last nine Premier League games at Anfield since a 1-0 win in January 2016 under Louis van Gaal (D5 L4). Liverpool could become just the second side to avoid defeat in 10+ successive Premier League home games against the Red Devils, after Chelsea (10 from Aug 2002 to Feb 2012).
Manchester United won away to the reigning Premier League title-holders Manchester City 2-1 last season, but haven’t beaten the defending English champions away from home in back-to-back league seasons since 1906-07 (Liverpool) and 1907-08 (Newcastle). Indeed, Ruben Amorim could become only the third manager to win both of his first two Premier League away games at reigning champions, after Manuel Pellegrini and Antonio Conte.
Liverpool have lost both of their last two Premier League games, after winning their first five of the season beforehand; it wasn’t until their 31st league match of last season that they suffered their second defeat. The Reds could lose three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since February 2021 (4).
Manchester United are winless in their last eight Premier League away games (D2 L6) since beating Leicester City 3-0 in March. The Red Devils last went longer without a league win on the road in September 1989 under Alex Ferguson (11).
Liverpool’s seven Premier League games this season have already seen four 90th-minute (or later) winning goals (2 for, 2 against). Only in 2008-09 have the Reds ever been involved in more games with 90th-minute winners in a season in the competition (5 – 4 for, 1 against). Â
Only Arsenal (56) and Newcastle (62) have faced fewer shots than Manchester United (64) in the Premier League this season, but despite this, the Red Devils have the fourth-highest expected goals against figure in the division (10.1). Indeed, their average xG per shot faced of 0.16 is the highest of any Premier League side in 2025-26.
Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz is yet to register a goal or assist in the Premier League despite having nine shots and creating 11 chances – his 20 combined shots and chances created are the most of any player yet to score or assist in the competition this term. Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has created the most chances of any player in the Premier League this season (19), but is yet to provide an assist.
Liverpool’s Mo Salah has more goals (13) and goal involvements (19 – 13 goals, 6 assists) against Man Utd than any other player in Premier League history. Only five players have recorded 20+ goal involvements against a single opponent in the competition: Les Ferdinand (20 v Everton), Alan Shearer (21 v Everton, 21 v Leeds), Frank Lampard (21 v Bolton), Harry Kane (22 v Leicester), and Wayne Rooney (23 v Newcastle).
Bryan Mbeumo has made 173 off-the-ball runs in the Premier League this season, more than any other Manchester United player. 26 of those have been followed by his side having a shot – a league-high figure.
