The reds ran out a comfortable 3-0 victory over bitter rivals at Old Trafford, sending out the rest of the Premier League a message that they are genuine title contenders with a fifth successive win in the League.
However, midfielder Jordan Henderson says Liverpool are already focusing on the next game with Cardiff visiting Anfield on Saturday.
“It was a big win but it was just another game for us really,” said the midfielder. “We went there trying to do the same thing, put on a good performance, get three points and thankfully we did that so we can move on to the next performance and hopefully win that.
“We knew it was a massive game but we have been brilliant of late and we felt as though we were capable of doing what we have been doing all season and have a really good chance of winning the game.
“We dominated from start to finish and I am very pleased in that respect, but we just move on to this week against Cardiff, that will be a difficult task as we are away from home so we need to prepare well for that.”
Also, young defender Jon Flanagan believes their rivals at the top of the Premier Leauge will be worried as the Premier League enters its final months.
“We put a marker down at Old Trafford. I thibk we will push on and keep going.
“We all believe but our priority was to finishin the top four at the start of the season. We are on track for that and anything else is a bonus.
“It’s always good when you see other teams around you losing. We saw the Chelsea result but we just concentrate on ourselves.
“We are just taking it a game at a time and keeping our feet on the ground.
“Momentum is building though. The lads are really happy but we are taking it step by step and hopefully we can keep that going.”
