Summary
As the warm glow of jubilation fades after Anfield... OK, maybe just one more quick spin around the happiness block!
But with a quick mental ice bath of our own, thoughts quickly turn to a game against Brighton at Old Trafford... one that, with good reason, still gives cause for trepidation. Carlos Baleba thinks he has rediscovered his old self just in time to show Mancunians what he is capable of.
The good news, though, is that Ruben Amorim has plenty of options at his disposal. With only Lisandro Martinez out injured, there is real competition for places in most positions. Can Utd go back to back... to back?
