Manchester United made it back-to-back wins with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> saw his side move up to ninth in the Premier League<\/a> as goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire secured a first win for Manchester United<\/a> at Anfield since 2016.<\/p>\n

After the Red Devils sealed victory \u2013 however \u2013 Chris Sutton<\/a> spotted something inside Anfield he felt was out of order.<\/p>\n

Chris Sutton slams Manchester United for the length of their celebrations<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old is no stranger to complaining about teams celebrating, and he has done it again when discussing the match on BBC 606.<\/p>\n

Sutton said: \u201cI get the emotion, but the length of it, it\u2019s amateur hour. It sort of sums up where Manchester United are at this moment in time. It was just a little bit too prolonged for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get the emotion. Big game, big derby\u2026 but come on, have a little bit more class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sutton has to stop making judgements on how teams celebrate, as it makes him come across like a miserable grump.<\/p>\n

As aforesaid, Manchester United \u2013 who almost signed Emiliano Martinez<\/a> \u2013 had previously failed to win at Anfield since 2016, so they were well within their rights to milk this victory and enjoy it with their supporters for as long as they saw fit.<\/p>\n

Spending that additional time with fans should also go some distance to rebuilding a connection between supporters and the players, something that will only help Amorim as he tries to maintain this good spell of form.<\/p>\n

2-1 win has led to some other bizarre comments<\/p>\n

Sutton is not the only one to embarrass himself in the aftermath of this 2-1 win.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot also humiliated himself by complaining about how Amorim set his side up, saying: \u201cWe\u2019ve seen (Benjamin) Sesko play the last three, four, five or six times, but they go to Liverpool (and) they change the line-up. That\u2019s not the first (time) where we\u2019ve faced a team and they\u2019ve done that.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are the type of comments a manager makes when they are really starting to feel the pressure \u2013 so perhaps four defeats in a row<\/a> for Liverpool is starting to weigh heavy.<\/p>\n

Amorim \u2013 and every other manager for that matter \u2013 is entitled to use any tactical shape he wants, and it is up to the Dutchman to find a solution.<\/p>\n

Complaining about Manchester United catching him by surprise only makes Slot look unprepared, and also gives a signal to other managers that the 47-year-old struggles against teams who adopt a low block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United made it back-to-back wins with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday.
