This is for the fans - Maguire pays tribute after matchwinner against Liverpool

Manchester United secured their first back-to-back Premier League wins under Amorim, beating Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield to climb to ninth in the table.

The match began in electric fashion as Bryan Mbeumo raced in behind to finish after just 62 seconds.

Liverpool dominated for long periods and eventually found an equalizer through Cody Gakpo with just 12 minutes of normal time remaining. However, it was Maguire who had the final say, heading home in the 84th minute to seal a memorable win for the visitors.

After the match, manager Ruben Amorim downplayed the result's unique importance. "It’s one more game," he told Sky Sports. "We know the importance of the game, but if we start feeling that one game is more important than the other, that is the biggest mistake we can make.”

Maguire, however, expressed a more emotional view, highlighting the weight of the victory for the club and its supporters.

"It means everything," the defender stated. "They had had the better of us over the last few years, and it's not been good for our club.

"We have not given our fans enough days like today, so it has been a long time coming, coming to this ground and picking up three points."

The England international, who was making only his third league start of the season, emphasized the personal and collective relief.

"It is not just three points to the club and to the boys. I have been coming to this ground for seven years now, and not getting three points has been tough. It's for the fans, and I hope they had a great night tonight."

Maguire, who delivered a man-of-the-match performance at the heart of a back three with Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw, will now be hoping to keep his place in the starting lineup for United's upcoming home fixture against Brighton on Saturday.
