COMMENT: Manchester United still have work to do after the win over Liverpool at Anfield if Ruben Amorim is going to be a long-term success. Arne Slot's team wasted their chances and United grabbed a famous three points in what is Ruben Amorim's finest moment as manager so far.



United get to toast their first ever back-to-back league victories under Amorim while simultaneously piling the misery on their bitter rivals who have now lost four in a row.Yet while it's true United deserved to win - because the chances Liverpool created were a product of individual ability rather than a more sustainable product of their system and tactics, whereas the Red Devils had a game plan and executed it - it can also be true that they were lucky to win.Why? There were certainly still harbingers of concern - like how was Gakpo given an uncontested header for that late chance after United went 2-1 up when there were nine white shirts inside the 18-yard box? - and they must not be ignored for Amorim to truly use this as a springboard.Ruben Amorim now needs to make sure Man Utd build on the win at Anfield (Image: Getty)"Back-to-back wins is fantastic, but they have to kick on," was Roy Keane's warning post match.

They should be really proud because it's a big achievement but they've got to kick on from here."Could this be the platform for United to finally build momentum under Amorim? Their immediate fixtures are winnable, they have confidence from back-to-back victories, there are few injuries and they have week-long breaks between matches.Now is the time where Amorim must truly be judged.
