"Kobbie Menu" speaks candidly about Liverpool after scoring the winning goal for Manchester United in the Premier League Red Derby.
On 4 May 2026, Kobbie Menu, Manchester United midfielder, gave an interview after the 35th match of the 2025-26 Premier League season, where United narrowly defeated Liverpool 3-2 at home in an intense Red Derby.
In this match, Manchester United took an early 2-0 lead within the first 14 minutes. Then in the second half, Liverpool fought back to equalize 2-2 in the 56th minute. Ultimately, Kobbie Menu became the hero by scoring the winning goal with a decisive strike from just outside the penalty area in the 77th minute, securing a 3-2 victory for the "Red Devils."
With this result, Manchester United officially secured their place in next season's UEFA Champions League, having increased their points to 64 and holding a 12-point lead over sixth-placed Bournemouth, with only three Premier League matches remaining.
Regarding the victory over Liverpool, Kobbie Menu said, "Facing Liverpool is never an easy game. I'm happy we secured the win. Liverpool is a strong team. We didn't start the game as well as we should have, but we managed to get the victory."
"(On scoring the goal) I'm glad to have scored again. I hadn't scored in a long time (1 year and 15 days)."
"(On qualifying for the UEFA Champions League) Qualifying for the Champions League is an important goal for us, but the season isn't over yet. We won't ease off."
"(On signing a new contract until 2031) It's a blessing. I'm happy to have secured my future with the club I've been with my entire life."
