Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti has declared he wants to be drawn with Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League.

"I think finishing second is the same as finishing first in your group," Zanetti claimed on Sky Sport Italia.

"At the moment Barcelona have shown that they are a dangerous side in La Liga, but we'll have to see what kind of form they are in come February.

"I would like to play against Manchester United because I like them as a team and the atmosphere at Old Trafford is special."
