Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has commended the grit and unwavering spirit his team exhibited in their recent victory against Liverpool, effectively quieting critics.
Following a resolute display at Anfield, the Red Devils secured back-to-back wins for the first time in almost a year.
Amorim’s squad handed Liverpool their fourth consecutive defeat with an impressive 2-1 win on Sunday evening.
This result represents a significant boost for Amorim, who has been under intense scrutiny since succeeding Erik ten Hag last November.
Amorim Applauds Team’s Tenacity
In the aftermath of the win, Amorim praised his squad’s relentless effort, acknowledging that luck also influenced some key moments.
“We had some fortunate breaks at critical junctures, yet our dedication to every challenge never wavered,” Amorim stated, as reported by Daily Mail. “Although we lost some composure in the second half, the team’s spirit was the cornerstone of our success.”
He elaborated, “Some matches you dominate possession, others you must defend staunchly. But with the right attitude, any game can be won.”
Amorim also highlighted, “Key moments such as netting the opening goal, vital saves by our goalkeeper, or a shot striking the crossbar ignite belief that victory is within reach. You could feel the players’ confidence surge.”
Prior to this match, Amorim had challenged his team to cultivate a more resilient mindset-a challenge they met head-on. This victory also ended Manchester United’s decade-long wait for a league triumph at Anfield, their first since 2016.
