"After 85 years to beat Manchester United is fantastic. We need to enjoy this win with our supporters and we deserved it. Our supporters were fantastic and the team responded to them," said Benitez.
"For me team work was the key and we worked really hard all game. When you play against the top sides you need to play at a high tempo. We controlled the first half and scored a good goal and created some good chances.
"Manchester United didn't create clear cut chances and we defended well. We have a lot of confidence and it is really good for the team and the supporters."
