Manchester United centre back Harry Maguire confessed he was “embarrassed” to have had to wait 35 games to seal back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time under Ruben Amorim and swiftly called on his teammates to extend that nascent streak.
United brought their humiliating run to an emphatic end on Sunday as they followed up a victory over Sunderland with a 2–1 triumph away at Liverpool, who are now on their own slump of four consecutive defeats across all competitions.
“It’s embarrassing, really,” match-winner Maguire said after his late header capped of a dramatic outing at Anfield. “It’s not a stat that we should even be speaking about because it is an embarrassing stat to have.
“Now that’s out of the way let’s try and make it three [wins] on Saturday against Brighton, because we have to start putting a bit more consistency together. The last three or four years we’d put in a performance like this and the following game we come down again. We have set a benchmark.”
