Ramses has become the new favorite as Manchester United's main goalkeeper, revealing the secret to shutting down Liverpool! Amolin highlights his importance.

Manchester United’s £18 million new goalkeeper, Sena Ramses, although unable to keep a clean sheet in his second match at Anfield, made crucial saves by stopping Isak’s one-on-one chance and rushing out to force Salah’s shot wide. These two key saves greatly contributed to the victory and earned praise from the coach, teammates, and fans. People no longer miss De Gea because Ramses first mastered the basics of goalkeeping, performing fundamental duties almost flawlessly, which is completely different from André Onana.

Statistics show that Ramses prevented 2.3 expected goals in 180 minutes of Premier League play. When he made a spectacular save, the live broadcast immediately cut to Peter Schmeichel on the sidelines, a former Red Devils legend who once doubted Ramses’ signing, but now the two are being compared. This match firmly secured Ramses’ position as Manchester United’s starting goalkeeper. The 23-year-old Belgian will continue as the first-choice keeper in Ruben Amolin’s 3-4-3 formation.

Amolin clearly stated: "He is indeed very important. Sometimes luck plays a role too, as the opponents hit the post several times! But these factors influence how people view this team and this goalkeeper. Therefore, we must recognize this. Ramses has shown great fighting spirit and outstanding ability, and his performance helped us secure the win."

Ramses admitted that the match where Manchester United defeated Liverpool was the most significant game of his career. "I think few feelings in the world compare to this. Playing in front of the Old Trafford fans two weeks ago felt like a dream come true for me. We not only kept a clean sheet but also won the match. But today was a different kind of day," he said. "I heard the last time we won here was about 10 years ago, back in 2016. So the fans must have had similar expectations. This kind of match atmosphere is one of the scenes I was most looking forward to since joining Manchester United. So, winning today makes me really happy."

When asked if this was the most important victory in his career, Ramses responded: "Yes, definitely. None of my previous wins compare to this one. But I think you just need to be yourself and not overthink things. In the end, it’s just another game. In preparation, I focused on the match as usual. I didn’t pay much attention to what was happening off the pitch or listen to outside noise. I only thought about today’s team and how to fight. We got the result we deserved, which was truly wonderful. So, today was a very special day."

Ramses’ passes during the game were mostly long balls, which he explained: "We knew Liverpool’s high pressing and man-marking tactics. So organizing from the back at Anfield was really difficult. From the start, the defenders and I decided to use more long passes to compete for second balls. Although we didn’t have a striker, we performed quite well in winning those second balls. Because of this, we pushed the opponents back and scored first. That goal came from long passes, winning the second ball, and the subsequent counterattack."

He revealed this was the coaching staff’s plan: "It was a joint decision by the team and coaches. They provide as much information as possible, but you must stay realistic. Especially at the start of the game, if the tactic works, you should stick with it. I think today, the tactic was effective. We won our first victory here in 10 years, which is very meaningful. I also heard it’s the second consecutive away win against the defending champions for Manchester United, which helps build momentum."

After Liverpool’s Gakpo equalized, Manchester United withstood the home side’s pressure and secured the winning goal with Maguire’s header. Ramses commented: "I haven’t been here long, but you can feel the atmosphere. There are many experienced teammates who understand that even if they score, we still have chances. I remember last season was like this too. This season, whenever opponents score first, we respond with goals. And we know that as long as we pass the ball to Maguire, he can score many goals. Of course, you don’t want to see this situation. Especially in the last 20 minutes, we had to defend desperately in the box. The substitutes also gave their all. In such an environment and atmosphere, it’s not difficult. I’m really proud of the whole team."

But Ramses said Manchester United needs to maintain consistency. "I think this is exactly the core philosophy the coach has been instilling in us this season — how to establish the rhythm of the game. However, the team has had some disappointing moments: in some matches, we should have controlled the game but didn’t. But I believe today’s match might be the starting point for rebuilding a good rhythm. Next, we have a home game against Brighton. With fans’ support, we must strive to win."

When explaining how he blocks out external distractions, Ramses said: "I try my best and feel I do well at effectively shutting out outside noise. Like I said before, I prepared for this game like any other. Of course, we must stay realistic since this is not an ordinary match. But you still have to try to maintain a normal mindset in preparation. I think from the first minute, we stayed grounded. Just like the pre-match plan, we executed it quite well. Before the game, we knew it would be very tough, and all 11 players had to defend together — and we did that, so I’d say we performed very well."

Talking about the head coach Amolin, who is under pressure to be dismissed, Ramses said: "In my opinion, he has been consistent. As I mentioned, I haven’t been here long, so maybe others have different views. But as a coach, he is under huge pressure. You can feel it from outside, read it in the British media, and hear it yourself. But I think he has done his best and done well, bravely accepting the pressure instead of letting the whole team take the blame. He shares a big part of the pressure with us, which is what a good manager should do."

Since transferring to a high-profile club like Manchester United, Ramses’ life has changed dramatically, especially with his social media accounts exploding. His follower count has surged to nearly 660,000.

“Of course, off the pitch, I try to keep my family and close friends around me. What others say is like outside noise and doesn’t matter. Now that I’m performing well, naturally everyone praises me. But I also know that if things don’t go well, they will criticize me,” Ramses said. “My social media followers have skyrocketed. Actually, I had this feeling even before the transfer. Receiving praise from everyone, plus the team’s victories, feels amazing. Manchester is great; I’ve been living here for several weeks, and life is quite convenient.”

How did Ramses celebrate the derby victory? He smiled and said: "I think tonight I’ll probably relax and enjoy myself. A good friend of mine is here too, so I’ll spend the evening with him. But I feel we’ve already tasted the joy of winning, and now we want more — that’s what matters most. So this is not our end; everyone must keep moving forward."
