The curse has finally been broken and it took out of favour Ruben Amorim to get the most awaited result against Liverpool Fc at Anfield.

Manchester United have been climbing the ladder in a gradual process after their 2-0 win over Sunderland. Their return to club action after the international break looked scary with a fixture including Liverpool Fc, Brighton Hive Albion, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.

The game that held lots of tension ended with a long awaited curse broken at Anfield after Manchester United recorded a win for the first time since 2016.

Bryan Mbeumo who who added to his national goal tally needed two (2) minutes to open the score for Manchester United. The Red Devils started to play like they were possessed, matching Liverpool Fc in all aspects of play until the 78’ when Kody Gakpo equalised for Liverpool Fc.

The pressure was immense on Amorim who had two things to achieve, break the winless streak at Anfield and continue the fine form.

An Mbeumo shot that was blocked saw Bruno Fernandez swipe in a cross which was connected perfectly by Harry Maguire to give Manchester United the lead in the 84’.

With a minute on the clock to go, Kody Gakpo had a perfect opportunity to draw level for Liverpool Fc as he was unmarked in a vantage area but his header went wide.

The joy on the face of Amorim could relate to winning a trophy as Arne Slot chases a win as this marks their fourth defeat in a row.
