Fergie calms Rafa feud

21 April 2009 08:00
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is refusing to continue his war of words with Liverpool chief Rafa Benitez. Ferguson launched a scathing attack on Benitez last week accusing the Spaniard of being arrogant. The Scot joined forces with Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce in hitting out at Benitez for gestures he made during Liverpool's 4-0 win over Blackburn earlier this month. Liverpool assistant manager Sammy Lee defended Benitez from Ferguson's attack on Monday claiming any gestures were made towards the Liverpool players and no one else. Ferguson remains unrepentant over his attack on Benitez, but is ready to draw a line under the whole episode as the title race hots up. "I made my point about it. I don't understand why he did it," said Ferguson. "I don't want to go on about it anymore. I made my point. There is no point carrying it on. It's plain for everybody to see now. I have made my issue about it." When informed about Liverpool's explanation about Benitez's gesture, Ferguson added: "They are hurt by it."
