Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted his surprise at Rafa Benitez's outburst towards Sir Alex Ferguson on Friday.
The usually calm and collected Liverpool manager hit out at his Red Devils counterpart at his perceived ignorance towards the FA's 'Respect' campaign and his bickering over the fixture list.
Wenger, who saw his Arsenal side secure a late 1-0 success over Bolton at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, is unwilling to add his opinion to the reasons behind the argument.
The French tactician would rather focus on matches upon the full-time whistle, although he admits there are instances where one needs to comment on officials as he did recently on Lee Mason after their 2-2 draw at Aston Villa.
"It came as a complete surprise, because he is usually a quiet man and I would not like to comment further on that. I do not know what it was really about," said Wenger.
"I do not know what he [Ferguson] is doing - you do not know either, nobody knows in the country!
"But if Alex Ferguson, or Benitez or I do something which is not right, you have people around the referees who can make reports.
"I believe it is important we focus on the game, if we see something abnormal we can say it, which I did at Aston Villa after the game.
"But apart from that, I couldn't see any deep problem there with English football.
"It is hard to determine what influence this will have on the results of the teams."
i also surprise rafa's comment since he look so low profile usually out of the big 4.
speaking of which, i believe wenger also know faggotson is a big hooligan in english football and FA tends to favour tis scum. but wenger rather keep quiet cos those gangster FA offical will go against him.
fergie's mind game is toxic n rafa got infected ahahaha
Talk so much, tio hong kan liverpool.
