Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson hit back at Liverpool counterpart Rafael Benitez, describing the Spaniard's extraordinary verbal attack on him as 'ridiculous'.
Benitez accused Ferguson of getting away with comments about referees during a four-minute monologue, also saying the Scot was nervous because Liverpool are top of the league.
After United thrashed Chelsea 3-0 on Sunday to close the gap to Liverpool to five points with two games in hand, Ferguson dismissed Benitez's comments.
"Well, I think you've got to cut through the venom of it," Ferguson told Sky Sports.
"Hopefully he'll reflect and understand that what he was saying was ridiculous.
"I think he was an angry man and was disturbed and that's all I want to say about it.
"At this moment in time I just want to concentrate on chasing the leaders who are Liverpool."

what benitez said is true, it was a well prepared,construtive,well delivered, and factual, he said what others have not had the balls to say for years,remember what fergie has said about , wenger, and how do you explain the chief exec of m.u being on the board of the FA. it has been said before on this site,"there is something very about m.u, and the F.A." maybe just maybe rafa has opened a hornets nest.!
