Liverpool sensed a comeback win but it was Manchester United who snatched the three points courtesy of Maguire’s 84th-minute header. ‘What a moment for Ruben Amorim,’ Old Trafford legend Gary Neville told Sky Sports. ‘He needed something, the pressure was building but a win at Anfield is huge.

But Maguire produced a brilliant performance at Anfield, keeping Liverpool’s array of attacking talent quiet before popping up with a dramatic winner. ‘We know Harry’s got the experience but the lack of pace might be an issue,’ Keane said. ‘That would be a worry but he’s played hundreds of games, he’s an established international player. We know as well he can be a threat.’ Redknapp added: ‘I’m surprised Harry Maguire is starting just in terms of Yoro’s pace. [Alexander] Isak would probably prefer to play against Harry than Yoro.’ Addressing his previous comments about Maguire after Manchester United’s win, Redknapp said: ‘The manager got every call right. ‘I questioned whether Maguire was the right man to play but he showed his leadership skills.

Only time will tell. ‘Time will tell if Manchester United can kick on but this feels like a huge win for the manager.’ The result at Anfield leaves Amorim’s side ninth in the Premier League, two points behind fourth-placed Liverpool. ‘I wouldn’t go as far as to say United are back but it’s a huge win for them,’ ex-captain Keane added. ‘We’ve all been critical of this group of players over the last year but on today’s performance, they showed grit. They stuck at it and you felt they had goals in them. ‘It’s a big moment for these players and they should enjoy it.
