Manchester United's recent victory at Anfield against Liverpool has been hailed as a significant achievement, but defender Harry Maguire insists that the team must now focus on finding consistency to build on this result. The Red Devils secured their first win at Anfield since January 2016 with a late 2-1 victory. Maguire emphasized the importance of using this win as a "benchmark" for future performances.

Maguire expressed his delight in ending the team's wait for consecutive Premier League victories. Speaking to the BBC, Maguire admitted that the statistic was "embarrassing" and that the team should not even be talking about it. He stressed the need to build on the win against Liverpool by securing another victory against Brighton in their next match.

The England international highlighted a recurring issue for Manchester United, where strong performances are often followed by a drop in form. He voiced his hope that the team can now put together a consistent run of results, something they have struggled with in recent years.

While acknowledging the significance of the win, Maguire also pointed out areas where the team needs to improve. He noted that United were forced to defend for a large portion of the second half and that the manager, Ruben Amorim, would be striving for a better overall performance. Amorim echoed the need for consistency and highlighted the importance of maintaining composure and spirit, even during difficult moments in a game. He emphasized the need to replicate the positive aspects of the Anfield performance in their upcoming fixtures.

The victory at Anfield was particularly sweet for Amorim, who admitted that he doesn't have many wins in Manchester. The win against Liverpool, the reigning champions, is a significant boost for Manchester United and their new manager. It provides a foundation to build upon as they strive for a more consistent and successful season.

Following a 5-0 defeat against Liverpool in October of 2022, Maguire revealed that Manchester United were seeking a measure of revenge against their rivals. Maguire explained that the team's motivation was to win the match and secure three points for the club and its fans.

Despite the positive result, Maguire and Amorim are both aware that there is still much work to be done. The challenge now is to maintain the high standards set at Anfield and transform this into a consistent level of performance. Only then can Manchester United truly capitalize on this benchmark victory and achieve their goals for the season.
