Liverpool’s Golden Chance to Push Manchester United Out of the Premier League
Liverpool has a golden opportunity to deepen the wounds of their fiercest rival, Manchester United, when they face off on Sunday in one of the top fixtures of the Premier League.
This classic showdown is shaping up to be one-sided, with the “Reds” in top form and the “Red Devils” enduring some of their darkest days—a reality acknowledged by United’s Portuguese coach, Rúben Amorim. He admitted that his team is now battling to avoid relegation for the first time since the 1973-74 season.
United has suffered six defeats in 11 matches across all competitions under the former Sporting Lisbon boss and nine league losses overall, leaving them stuck at 22 points in 14th place.
For Amorim, the reality is “clear, and we must fight” to stay in the Premier League. He emphasized: “We need to be honest with our fans. We must change something, and this season will be difficult for everyone. It can make us stronger, but we need to fight. I am genuinely worried. If you look at the league, it’s very tough, and any team can win matches. We must be honest with our supporters, especially our players. We will fight for our lives.”
He stressed: “We need to fight in the next match,” which will be extremely challenging as United faces table-topping Liverpool at Anfield. The following week, they will visit Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.
When asked about the team’s determination, he candidly replied: “It’s low. Yes, you can feel it every day. That’s bad, of course, but it’s good they feel that. We must understand we are in a very difficult moment. It’s really tough for them sometimes on the pitch to endure these losses, but we have to keep going. There’s no other way. We need to work hard and prepare for the matches ahead.”
