Harry, who took over the reins from Mark Hughes, has managed a single win in QPR's last 5 games. Despite this, QPR's performances have been improving and the Portsmouth favourite has voiced his opinion as to what his target for his new club remains. Speaking to Sky Sports he said, "We've got a challenge on and if we can pull this one off between us, the players, myself, the owners the fans, it will be a great achievement from everybody's perspective, and we're all looking forward to giving it a go."
He also claimed that this challenge would prove to be his toughest challenge if his managerial career. He said, "This probably would be (my biggest challenge ever). Going back to Portsmouth was a difficult one when I went back there having left and then having gone back, if I hadn't kept them up that year, I wouldn't be stood here now."
"Iago Aspas and Michu will appear," the World Cup-winning boss told Spanish television. He had already heaped plenty of praises for the 25 year old former Rayo Vallecano man.
He had said, "Michu deserves to be credited for his superb season. The way he has stood out in the league at a club like Swansea, which is not one of the top clubs, is exceptional.
"He's not an out-and-out striker and has been scoring a lot of goals like he did for Rayo Vallecano."
He has to ability to play either position and has been a fantastic defender at this club," Benitez told The Sun. "People say that central midfield is also a role of him and I think they are right. You still have to have discipline and be in the right position and you can't take liberties. Against Villa, he showed that he has the discipline and the ability to do that role."

| Michu has his way |
Vincente Del Bosque has resorted to Premier League's top scorer as his first choice replacement for underperforming Fernando Torres. Where the Euro 2012 Golden Boot winner has seen his miserable performance continue in the Premier League, his compatriot Michu has taken the League by storm. Scoring a staggering 13 goals in 18 games this season so far, Michu has convinced the Spain manager Del Bosque for a call up for the national side.
He had said, "Michu deserves to be credited for his superb season. The way he has stood out in the league at a club like Swansea, which is not one of the top clubs, is exceptional.
"He's not an out-and-out striker and has been scoring a lot of goals like he did for Rayo Vallecano."
