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.
