Internazionale boss Jose Mourinho believes United have a
real chance of winning every trophy on offer this
season.
Mourinho was humble in defeat after
United beat Inter 2-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday. And such was
the Reds' strength that the Inter boss has backed a clean sweep for
Sir Alex.
"Right now they're at their maximum level," he said. "They have
experience, quality, great physical condition and intensity in
their game.
"That's why they're European champions. That is why they can win
everything. I think they can win five trophies."
Echoing Sir Alex's comment that the Reds deserved to go through,
the Inter boss said: "I'm honest in my way of analysing things and
they (United) are better than us. My team played to their maximum
of their potential. They couldn't have given any more.
"The result could have been completely different, yes, because
Inter could have won the tie with a little bit of luck at the right
moments.
"We had four big chances to score in the first half. We had a
really big possibility of going in front (on away goals) with 1-1
at half-time. At the start of the second half they (United) did
nothing to score the second goal, but they did it.
"Still we had a good reaction. We had another big possibility to
leave the fear in the air with Adriano (hitting the post) but we
didn't score. We didn't have that little bit of luck you need to
win big matches."
