Mourinho tips United for clean sweep of trophies
Published: 12/03/2009
JOSE Mourinho has tipped Manchester United to complete an amazing five-timer this season.
United stayed on course for an unprecedented quintuple by overcoming Inter Milan at Old Trafford to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Although Sir Alex Ferguson accused his team of playing suicide football, headers at the start of each half from Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo proved decisive.
And, in acknowledging the Red Devils are at the peak of their powers, Mourinho sees no reason why United should not scoop the lot.
“Manchester United have worked together for five consecutive years,” said Mourinho.
“They were a young side then, they are not young anymore. Right now they are at their maximum level. That is why they are European champions. That is why they can win everything.”
