<\/p>\nThe Red Devils celebrated a first victory on enemy turf since 2016 as Harry Maguire\u2019s late header sealed a 2-1 win shortly after Cody Gakpo had cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s early opener.<\/p>\n
It was Liverpool\u2019s fourth straight loss in all competitions and boss Slot said afterwards that \u201cit is always difficult to play against a team that defends in a low block and mainly plays the long ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
But such comments are water off a duck\u2019s back to Amorim, who had no interest in the Dutchman\u2019s assessment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ruben Amorim led Manchester United to victory at Liverpool (Peter Byrne\/PA)<\/p>\n
The Verdict with John Aldridge<\/p>\n
\u201cLiverpool is in the past, I don\u2019t want to comment,\u201d he said ahead of United\u2019s home game against Brighton. \u201cThat is not important.<\/p>\n
\u201cImportant is what Fabian (Hurzeler) said to try to understand what is going to happen (against Brighton).<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand everything. I am really pleased that the team can play different games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an important win, but I was the first one to say that we need to play better with the ball. So, I don\u2019t care what Slot is saying, what people are saying about our team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can evaluate my team and I am really clear that we should play better with the ball. We are going to try to do that in this game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amorim was pleased by the way his side adapted to the circumstances and sealed a statement win against Liverpool.<\/p>\n
It was the first time that United have won back-to-back Premier League games since the Portuguese arrived last November and there is hope it could prove the turning point of his reign.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are always talking about that but that connects with the other question about the way we face competition,\u201d Amorim said of that possibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you just think about that \u2013 that we are going to try to perform and put everything on the field \u2013 that is the most important thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, sometimes when you talk too much about turning points, it\u2019s worse. Let\u2019s take it naturally.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve won two games. It\u2019s no big deal, it should have come sooner. Let\u2019s go for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harry Maguire and Mason Mount will have knocks assessed before the Brighton game, but Lisandro Martinez is the only definite absentee.<\/p>\n
Among those that trained with the group this week was highly-rated attacker JJ Gabriel, who turned 15 earlier this month and took part in a session.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike everyone, I know that he is a really talented guy and everyone pays attention with the social media,\u201d Amorim said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you can see that the Under-21s had a game so we had less players and we tried to pick some players (for training) that have talent.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot just for me to see for tomorrow but for them to feel what it means to be in the first team. The difficulties of playing against our defenders, the difficulties to be in our training, the pace.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can use every training that we have to show the kids what they need to do to be here, it\u2019s important. Not just for JJ but for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Red Devils celebrated a first victory on enemy turf since 2016 as Harry Maguire\u2019s late header sealed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,898,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-103259","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-latest-news-ticker","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
