Manchester United trio can now be considered successful signings
Being a Manchester United player is something special, and it takes a certain character to be capable of shouldering everything that comes with it.
Following the 2-1 win, notable journalist Sam Pilger tweeted his thoughts, explaining that Sir Alex had one major qualifier for whether a player would make it at United or not, that being Anfield.
Pilger then added that three players have now proven themselves.

“Sir Alex Ferguson always said he judged a player on how they performed at Anfield, and so after today, we conclusively learned that Lammens, Mbeumo, and Cunha have all got what it takes to succeed at Manchester United.”
Senne Lammens, Matheus Cunha, and the goalscorer Mbeumo were all brilliant against Liverpool, looking at home and coping with the pressure perfectly.
Manchester United had an excellent summer transfer window
While we could all see it was a strong window at the time, the signings continue to get better and better as the window ages excellently.
Cunha was arguably United’s most impressive player against Liverpool despite not scoring, as he gets more and more dangerous. It should be a matter of time before he scores.
Additionally, Lammens was once again excellent, denying Liverpool numerous times and playing a massive role in the win.
Mbeumo scored his third of the season, and the most important of the season for United.
Alongside this trio, Benjamin Sesko also had a strong cameo and could have had an assist, as he continues to impress.
More summer transfer windows like this and United will be back in no time.
