Liverpool boss Benitez blanks Owen questions

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has blanked questions over whether he regrets not signing Manchester United striker Michael Owen when he was available from Newcastle United.

Owen returns to Anfield playing for bitter rivals United tomorrow.

But Benitez steadfastly refused to reveal whether he regrets not signing Owen on a free this summer.

He replied: "I had a lot of good players before in my squad and I have now. I'm just working with the ones I have.

"I'm really happy with Torres, he's really good. Dirk Kuyt is a fantastic striker and David Ngog. Ryan Babel and Voronin will be there too. I'm really pleased with my players."

The same question will be asked should Owen score a dramatic winner.
