Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has no regrets over his rant against Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson.

He said: "You cannot wait until May, because it is too late then to find a solution.

"Things needed saying now, and I think what I said is going to help us for the rest of the season. It will take some of the pressure off my players, for one thing, and also make people think about the things Mr Ferguson gets up to.

"When United played, a couple of days later, I was really pleased to see the television cameras were following him and the referee throughout."
