Author: Andrew Allen
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez does not want to congratulate Sir Alex Ferguson on winning the title for Manchester United. Benitez, speaking after Liverpool relegated West Brom with a 2-0 win on Sunday, preferred to congratulate United as a whole, rather than singling out Ferguson personally.The pair have been at each others' throats all season and relations between the pair hit rock bottom with Benitez accused Ferguson of intimidating referees in January.
From then on, they have clashed on just about anything - from transfer budgets to refereeing decisions - and despite being given numerous chances to congratulate Sir Alex personally, Benitez declined.
"I will say congratulations to Manchester United. They have done well, but I do not want to say too much," he said.
"I prefer just to say well done to the club, a big club, a good club.
"Normally you have to be polite and respect the other manager. During the season we have seen a lot of things that I didn't like, so that's it.
"I say congratulations to United because they have won. And that's it."
