Man U’s Fergie says Liverpool’s Rafa is arrogant and rude

Manchester United coach-cum-manager Alex Ferguson has described his Liverpool counterpart Rafa Benitez as rude and arrogant.

"There’s one thing with his arrogance that you can’t forgive and that is his contempt for Sam last week when Liverpool scored their second goal against Blackburn. Did you see it? It was absolute contempt. He went ‘game finished.’ I don’t think any other Liverpool manager would ever have done that. But he is beyond the pale," The Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying.

A Liverpool source said: "Rafa has laughed off what is clearly just a co-ordinated attack on him."
