Pretty strong squad I reckon.
Bill, Inter’s pretty strong at the moment. I’m sure we’re all hoping United to start sweeping aside their domestic opponents (Inter’s pretty good at this currently) to send a clear message to Mourinho’s squad that it’s not going to look good for them at all when we do battle.
@Ulrik Fredrik: We’ve got matches against Derby, Fulham and Blackburn before we meet Inter in the first leg so I hope you are right and we can expect some solid peformances in those matches
