Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez says he has "no idea" about the club's January transfer plans.

The Spaniard has expressed concerns over recruitment as he attempts to save Toon from relegation.

The Magpies are currently five points above the drop zone. But with owner Mike Ashley looking to sell the club, it is unknown how much funds will be given, if any, to bolster Benitez's squad.

Asked after Wednesday's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool if he was expecting to sign players late in the window, Benitez said: "I have no idea."
