Benitez has given an interview to his hometown newspaper, ABC. Someone get him the number of a decent psychiatrist, and quickly.
"I'm not having a battle of words with Alex Ferguson. But I believe that he can see that we are the better side, and that we are very close to United. He has been accustomed to playing these types of mind games for many years. Nobody has ever said anything against him, or stood up to him, as he has a very good team that can win trophies. It seems like he has a licence to do these sorts of things.
"It is essential for us to try to keep the pressure on United. We must not slacken off, and if we keep going that will make them feel under pressure."
