Benitez keeps focus on United challenge

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez insists he is more concerned about facing Manchester United than George Gillett and Tom Hicks.

While United have a date at Anfield on Sunday in a top-of-the table Premier League clash, there has been no public confirmation of when talks will be held between Benitez and his club’s co-owners, only that they are expected to be this weekend. The much-heralded meeting follows the fall-out over the new American tycoons’ transfer policy.

Benitez was angered by suggestions that perhaps he should stick to training and coaching and leave money matters to others.
