Roy Keane has shut down suggestions that Manchester United might be back after Sunday's huge 2-1 win at Liverpool.
Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire - either side of a Cody Gakpo equaliser - saw United earn their first victory at Anfield since January 2016 under Louis van Gaal. The three points was also the first time United had earned back-to-back wins under Ruben Amorim in the Premier League after beating Sunderland before the international break.
The Reds will now be hoping that their first win at their fierce rivals in almost a decade can lead to a revival under Amorim, with the Portuguese coming under huge pressure this season. Sunday's win has moved them up to ninth in the table - just two points off third-placed Liverpool.
But former Reds midfielder Keane has urged caution over any notion that his old side may now be back. United host Brighton & Hove Albion next, who have a good record at Old Trafford.
"I wouldn't go as far as to say Man Utd are back but it's a huge win for them," he told Sky Sports.
"We've all been critical of this group of players over the last year but on today's performance, they showed grit. They stuck at it and you felt they had goals in them.
"It's a big moment for these players and they should enjoy it. But now they have to kick on."
Meanwhile, former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has praised Amorim for his calls during the win on Merseyside.
"Time will tell if Man Utd can kick on but this feels like a huge win for the manager," he said.
"He got every call right. I questioned whether Maguire was the right man to play but he showed his leadership skills. Cunha over Sesko was the right call as well.
"They also got it right tactically. they never played out from the back once. they got it spot on. Amorim has been battered by everyone but he will feel good after that, but a breakthrough moment? Only time will tell."
