Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has failed to congratulate Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after the Red Devils won this year's Premiership.

The duo have been involved in a bitter feud this season and Benitez could not bring himself to congratulate his counterpart, opting to say well done to the club instead.

"I will say congratulations to Manchester United. They have done well, but I do not want to say too much," Benitez said.

"I prefer just to say well done to the club, a big club, a good club.

"Normally you have to be polite and respect the other manager. During the season we have seen a lot of things that I didn't like, so that's it.

"I say congratulations to United because they have won. And that's it."
