Benitez denies clash with Liverpool owners

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has denied problems with the club's American owners over a new contract. "My agent only received the draft document of my contract on Monday evening so my surprise is that some journalists can talk about there being problems before I have even read it properly and discussed it," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.

"We have agreed the length of contract and we have agreed the salary. Now we have to discuss my role and my responsibilities as manager of the club.

"But we haven't had the opportunity to do that yet.

"Someone has information and clearly wants to create a mess, but I haven't discussed anything yet because, as I say, the contract only arrived on Monday night.

"I don't have any problems at all with the American owners."
