Ruben Amorim and Manchester United appear to be finally getting into a groove in the Premier League, with back-to-back wins against Sunderland and Liverpool.
United emerged victorious against the Reds on Sunday evening, with a Harry Maguire header the difference at Anfield.
The victory leaves Manchester United 9th in the Premier League table, level on points with Crystal Palace and just one behind Sunderland after eight games.

The Red Devils host Brighton & Hove Albion this Saturday, but the real test may come the week after, following an official announcement on Tuesday morning.
Sean Dyche appointed Nottingham Forest manager
Sean Dyche became Nottingham Forest head coach on Tuesday morning, taking over from Ange Postecoglou following his sacking on Saturday.
The former Everton and Burnley manager has signed a contract running until the summer of 2027 and will take charge of his first match on Thursday night as Forest face FC Porto in the Europa League.
Forest currently sit in the relegation zone and need an expert in Premier League survival – and there aren’t many better in the business than Dyche.
Bad news for Manchester United
Manchester United now face Forest at the worst possible time. If the Red Devils beat Brighton on Saturday, one of the toughest fixtures awaits: the first home league game under a new manager.
Forest players and fans alike will feel revitalised under Dyche, and what looked to be three points against a poor side now instantly becomes a supremely tough Premier League fixture.
To make matters worse, United’s record at Forest’s home ground is abysmal. They’ve lost their last two visits:
- 30 Dec 2023: Forest 2–1 United (at The City Ground)
- 1 Apr 2025: Forest 1–0 United (at The City Ground)
Now, under Dyche’s leadership, it’s set to be an even tougher affair. Bad luck, Red Devils.
