With three upcoming home fixtures in a row, the Reds now have a chance to build momentum in the second half of the season.
Speaking to both MUTV and the BBC, our no.8 stated that now is the time to “focus”.
The midfielder said: “I know we want to celebrate and everything, but our focus is now on Southampton [on Thursday] - that is when we have to back it up.”
After heroic performances in our last two games, which included an assist in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Anfield and a first goal at the Emirates Stadium, the Portuguese international admitted those displays come with a natural desire to perform on the biggest stages.
