Ferguson glad to see back of Benitez from Liverpool

Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping for more cordial relations with Liverpool now that Rafael Benitez has gone. Roy Hodgson has become the seventh Reds boss during Ferguson's time at Manchester United.

Despite the intense rivalry between the two north-west giants, Ferguson has tended to enjoy a harmonious relationship with his managerial counterpart.

That was not the case with Benitez.

"I have never been personal. You have to examine him, not me," said Ferguson, referring to Benitez's conduct.

"I have always enjoyed a good relationship with Liverpool managers. Both clubs have always addressed the situation properly after the games.

"That changed under the last regime. It is not a big issue for me."
