Man United transfer news LIVE - Morten Hjulmand claims, takeover latest, Liverpool reaction

Manchester United ended their nine-year wait for a win at Anfield with an incredible 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

Harry Maguire scored the winning goal, heading home Bruno Fernandes’ cross with six minutes to play to spark joyous celebrations on the pitch and in the away end.

It was a huge boost for Ruben Amorim, who has come under fire following United’s poor start to the season. The win pushes United up to ninth place in the Premier League table, just two points behind Liverpool.

Bryan Mbeumo had given the visitors the lead inside the opening two minutes before Cody Gakpo brought the score level after 78 minutes. The win comes amid fresh takeover speculation in the last week, with claims that David Beckham has been approached to back a bid by a consortium from the United Arab Emirates.

Stay tuned to the Manchester Evening News’ live blog for all the reaction to the victory plus the very latest transfer news and rumours.

Harry Maguire savoured scoring against Liverpool during what could be his final visit to Anfield for Manchester United.

Maguire has entered the final year of his contract, and he admitted scoring was sweetened by securing a victory on what could potentially be his last Anfield visit with United.

He said:

I've been here seven years now, so it's been tough for the seven years not getting that win

It's been on my mind a little bit, to be honest. I'm in my last year now, so this could be the last time I played at Anfield for this club, so it's really important that I've come here and tick that one off because it has been playing on mind.

Manchester United's pursuit of Morten Hjulmand rests on Ruben Amorim's future as manager, according to reports.
