Boro Hand Title To Man Utd!

Last updated : 01 March 2009 By Boro Mad

Benitez: "Before the game, it was very difficult - after the game, it is more difficult.

"It depends on United. It will be more difficult, clearly.

"I don't want to say too much, but for me, it is very clear. In the first 30 minutes, we had five chances and you have to take your chances.

"After the own goal, we still had chances. If you want to win, you have to score."

The Spaniard denied that the club's off-field problems - his contract remains unsigned, while it has been announced that chief executive Rick Parry will leave Anfield at the end of the season - were a factor, but also revealed that his own situation could progress soon.
