Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has reopened his war of words with Manchester United by questioning chief executive David Gill's position on the Football Association board.

Benitez has already aimed fire at Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson for influencing referees and complaining about his side's fixture list.

Now, after Ferguson had called the Spaniard's rant 'ridiculous', Benitez has opted to stoke the fires again.

He told the Daily Mirror: "They were saying we are not a threat. Now they know we are, they are starting mind games.

"But I don't think it's a mind game when you have control over everything, it's a mind game when you have the same level as the other people, then you can show you are cleverer than the others.

"But when you have control of everything and your chief executive is powerful in the FA and things like this, then that is not mind games.

"Is there a conflict of interest with David Gill at the FA?

"That is another fact. It is a fact that one person has a lot of power and control, and is on a lot of committees in the FA. To me that is very strange."
