Manchester United entered their clash against Liverpool in dire form, having suffered four consecutive defeats to close out 2024, failing to score in three of those games. Concerns were rife that another humbling performance awaited them at Anfield, as per Goal.com.

However, under Ruben Amorim's leadership, United showed impressive resilience on Merseyside, securing a hard-fought 2-2 draw in a thrilling encounter. The Red Devils even had opportunities to snatch all three points, displaying flashes of the fighting spirit that had eluded them in recent weeks. Their last victory came in a memorable derby triumph over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, leaving fans and pundits puzzled by the team's erratic form.

"I get more mad because of the other games. It's even harder to understand some things. This is not about the system, the technique, it's about something else. I am upset today, really upset. I am pleased with the performance but everyone today is going to say that the team did a good job. Today I am allowed to be the only guy upset with the team -- but today we were a team," Amorim told Sky Sports, as quoted by Goal.com.
