RAFA BENITEZ accused Alex Ferguson of snubbing him as their bitter feud blew
up again. The Chelsea interim boss claimed he was waiting to greet Ferguson in front of
his dugout before the game but the Manchester United manager ignored him.
Benitez said: “I was waiting at the beginning. I was ready and waiting and he
just walked past. I have education and know what I have to do. You’ll have
to ask him why he did not do it.”
Benitez responded to his early snub by walking away from Fergie at the end of
yesterday’s 2-2 FA Cup quarter-final draw rather than offer his hand.
Asked why he did not wait for Ferguson at the end of the game, Benitez said:
“I went to be with my players.” Chelsea had fought back from 2-0 down yesterday to earn a replay and could
have won it at the end but for a fantastic save from David De Gea.
Rio Ferdinand could be in hot water for tripping and shoving Fernando Torres
in one movement and then yanking the Chelsea player to his feet. The 85th-minute incident was missed by referee Howard Webb but the FA could
still take action.
The date of the replay at Stamford Bridge is yet to be decided, with the
winners facing Manchester City in the semi-final at Wembley.
