Ferguson Happy With Benitez Jibes
Sir Alex Ferguson is happy for Rafael Benitez to keep aiming his verbal volleys at Manchester United because he trusts his players to avoid them.[LNB]Benitez has launched a series of scathing attacks on Ferguson since the turn of the year, the latest being a claim in Spain that the United manager is fearful of Liverpool because he knows they are a better side than his own.[LNB]It seemed like a strange comment in a week when United opened a three point lead at the Premier League summit, although it did maintain a feud Ferguson continued last week when he claimed Benitez had behaved with contempt towards Sam Allardyce for his reaction at a goal against Blackburn at Anfield recently.[LNB]But Ferguson has no wish to silence Benitez.[LNB]He prefers to let his team do the talking. And at the moment they are the ones shouting loudest.[LNB]"He is definitely saying a lot," said Ferguson of Benitez's jibes.[LNB]"But I am happy for him to carry on with it.[LNB]"I have to trust my players. I know they are good enough.[LNB]"I have trusted them for years now. That is why I have picked them.[LNB]"They are a good bunch of lads and we will just carry on the way we always have."[LNB]
