manchester united defender Harry Maguire accepted the long-awaited victory in liverpool If they are unable to maintain their momentum, their importance will diminish.
The centre-back’s 84th-minute header secured a 2–1 win, their first win at Anfield since 2016, and gave the head coach Reuben Amorim back to back Premier League Won for the first time since arriving last November.
United have now won four of their last six and sit ninth in the table – just two points behind third-placed Bournemouth – and while the long-awaited success at home to their arch-rivals is welcome, Maguire knows the bigger picture demands more.
“This club will probably appreciate something this week: the resilience, the fighting spirit,” he said.
“But if we don’t perform next weekend brightonIt will be exactly the same next week so we need to build on it, we need to build momentum, we need to put in positive performances – that’s the most important thing.
“Performances bring results in the end. Take the positives, have confidence but next week against Brighton at Old Trafford, we have to make sure we perform and get the win.”
Maguire wasted a great chance to score a last-gasp winner in last season’s fixtures, so was delighted to get the goal this time around, especially as he knows it could be his last at Anfield in a United shirt.
“I’ve been here seven years and it’s tough not to win, to be honest, it’s on my mind,” he said.
“I’m in my final year now so it could be the last time I play at Anfield for this club so it’s really important that I come here and tick that off because it’s going through my mind.
“Last year we did really well here and probably had a chance to win it, so it’s a big, important win for me, for every player, for the staff, for Ruben, but more importantly it’s a big win for our fans because it’s been tough for them.”
