The Man Utd Line-up that Last Beat Liverpool at Anfield

This weekend, Manchester United face Liverpool at Anfield, a venue where they haven't won since 2016 with a completely changed team.

A win for Manchester United would be a significant moment for Ruben Amorim, but it won't be easy, especially without Noussair Mazraoui. Liverpool are on a three-match losing streak, giving United a huge opportunity to secure a win.

The last time United won at Anfield was in 2016, with a 1-0 triumph. The team that played in that match has undergone significant changes, with not a single player still playing for the club.

Looking back at the last win, the team's lineup is a reminder of how much the squad has evolved. Notable players from that match, including Wayne Rooney, have since retired.

A victory for Manchester United would see Ruben Amorim have a watershed moment and a platform to build upon.

The current state of the team and the challenge ahead make this match a critical test for Manchester United.
