[Getting better] Rare Manchester United! Excellent Maguire! The "Red Devils" are proud of the Double Red Club!

Football

On the evening of October 19th, the 2025-26 Premier League season ushered in the much-anticipated Double Red Club! Manchester United opened the scoring 62 seconds into the game. Although Liverpool equalized the score in the 78th minute of the second half, Maguire scored with a header 6 minutes later. He scored his first goal of the season and helped the team beat Liverpool 2-1 and take three points from Anfield!

As the defending champion, after Liverpool won the Premier League championship last season, the team has tied Manchester United in the number of top league championships in England with 20 times. Therefore, this also makes this "double red club" even more eye-catching! However, just 62 seconds after the game started, Liverpool gave a big gift! Van Dyke did not destroy the ball during the battle for the top. Instead, he accidentally injured his teammate McAllister. After Mbemo fell to the ground, he actively participated in the attack again. Then Amad got the ball from the right side of the frontcourt and passed it through. Mbemo followed up and succeeded with a volley! Manchester United got off to a fantastic start!

Knocked on the door of Liverpool in 62 seconds. According to statistics, this is the fastest goal in the Premier League double-red meeting at Anfield!

In the subsequent game, Liverpool, playing at home, was eager to equalize the score as soon as possible, but Gakpo's shots hit the post continuously, and good luck did not seem to be on the side of the "Red Army" Liverpool. At half-time, Manchester United entered the locker room with a one-goal lead. From the perspective of technical statistics, Liverpool leads Manchester United in most statistics, with a ball possession rate of 60%, and higher shots and shots on target than Manchester United. However, the high ball possession rate alone reflects Liverpool's weaknesses. The low quality of its counterattack makes it difficult for the team to make a difference in such a critical game.

In the second half of the game, Liverpool stepped up its offensive. Although he had hit the door frame three times in a row before, Gakpo still received an assist from Chiesa who came on the bench in the 78th minute and succeeded in shooting in front of the goal to help Liverpool equalize the score. However, just when the Liverpool generals saw hope of a comeback, they did not know that an aircraft carrier was quietly setting sail!

Six minutes later, Manchester United took a corner kick on the left side of the front court. Although Mbemo's shot was blocked, B Fee, who followed up, faced the incoming ball and sent a long volley pass! From the back, Manchester United center back Maguire beat Cornet and scored with a header! Help Manchester United take the lead again 2-1!

B Fei's pass was a stroke of genius. His lightning-fast decision-making found his teammates at the back point quite accurately. In addition to Maguire, the unguarded De Ligt and Dolgu also had absolute chances to score at the back point.

"Excellent Ma Kui" is online again! This is his first goal of the season and is still worth thousands of dollars! According to statistics, since the beginning of last season, Maguire has scored 6 goals for Manchester United in all competitions, 5 of which were scored at the last minute of the game, including countdown equalizers against Porto and Grimsby, and stoppage time winners against Leicester City and Lyon!

In the end, relying on the winning goal of the "excellent Maguire", Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the away game and won the first double-red match of the season. This victory has even more important significance for Manchester United! "Red Devils" coach Amorin won his first two consecutive Premier League wins since taking over as Manchester United coach in November 2024!

Compared to this somewhat "joking" fact, Amorim has accomplished a feat that most Premier League coaches have never accomplished! After defeating the defending champion Manchester City in an away game last season and defeating Liverpool in an away game this season, Amorim became the third head coach after Pellegrini and Conte to win the first two away games against the defending champion in the Premier League! According to relevant statistics, this is also the first time in 117 years that Manchester United has defeated the defending champion away from home in two consecutive seasons.

Sir Ratcliffe previously said that the result of the Double Red Club will directly determine Amorim's future at Manchester United. After taking all three points at Anfield, Amorim not only completed his self-salvation, but also boosted the morale of the entire Manchester United team! Facing their mortal enemy in the league, they defeated Liverpool in an away game for the first time since 2016, ending a nine-year winless streak. It also ended Liverpool's unbeaten streak in 20 Premier League home games across seasons!

On the other hand, Liverpool truly interprets the line "If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later." This season, the defending champion Liverpool won five consecutive games at the beginning of the season and against Southampton in the EFL Cup. However, they then suffered four consecutive losses. They were defeated by Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League, and lost to Galatasaray in the Champions League.

According to Opta statistics, this is the first time since Rogers took charge in November 2014 that Liverpool has suffered four consecutive losses in all competitions.

Judging from the content of the game, the team's two huge new players this season still failed to show their due form. Wirtz, who was introduced for 125 million pounds, instigated the team's only goal in this game, but has not contributed a goal in 11 games so far; Isaac, who was introduced for 145 million pounds, was replaced in the 72nd minute of this game. So far, the data in 4 league games and 2 Champions League games is 0 goals and 1 assist, and he only scored 1 goal in the League Cup.

Liverpool, which has won 7 consecutive games in all competitions at the beginning, is already 4 points behind Arsenal, the leader, and 15 points with Bournemouth. It is only 1 point behind Chelsea, Tottenham and Sunderland, who are 5-7 behind. Looking back, Manchester United, which has won consecutive victories, has caught up to a gap of only 2 points. At this time, I am afraid that the happiest people are the Arsenal fans...
