Coral Sports – Sir Alex Ferguson sounds out his second-rate record against Jose Mourinho as sufficient evidence Manchester United are not sure to arrive at the Champions League last eight.
Ferguson’s United confront Mourinho’s Inter Milan on Wednesday having tied 0-0 in Milan, but the Scotsman has merely one win in 13 efforts versus the Portuguese.
Holders United are firm favourites to make headway having controlled the 1st leg at San Siro but Ferguson warned against complacency.
He spotlighted the instance of his side’s defeat by Mourinho’s Porto at the equivalent phase 5 years ago, when a late away goal sent United going out of the contest, and called attention to the fact that Inter are seven points ahead in Italy’s Serie A.
Ferguson’s only triumph over Mourinho fared in 2005 when Darren Fletcher’s header took care of Chelsea at Old Trafford.
Mourinho has been vaunted as a potential replacement for Ferguson once the Old Trafford boss chooses to retire but Ferguson declines to be drawn on whether he senses the Portuguese will supersede him at United.
Mourinho is under immense pressure to bestow European success to Inter Milan and is pulling on his early experiences at Porto, with whom he won the competition in 2004.
Costinha’s belated attempt for Porto at Old Trafford dispatched United out of the competition that year and witnessed Mourinho famously dash down the touchline to celebrate with his team.
Defeat from United could spell the ending of Mourinho’s term of office at Inter, but typically the 46-year-old is defying to think that way. Coral Sports
