LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez has launched an astonishing attack on his Manchester United counterpart Alex Ferguson. The Spaniard claimed yesterday that Ferguson is “the only manager who will not be punished” for outspoken attacks on referees.
Benitez claimed: “We had a meeting in Manchester with managers and the FA about the respect campaign. And I was very clear, forget the campaign because Mr Ferguson was killing the referees, killing Mr (Martin) Atkinson, killing Mr (Keith) Hackett.”
Benitez is clearly irked by the lenient way he sees Ferguson treated by the FA, and hit back at the Old Trafford chief’s complaints about how the fixtures are compiled.
