Mourinho insists Inter will be tough on Man Utd

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has insisted that his side will do everything in their power to make it tough for defending champions Manchester United in the Champions League.

The two teams meet on Wednesday night at Old Trafford after the first leg in Italy was locked at 0-0 and the former Chelsea and Porto manager knows it will be tough for the Red Devils.

"They are a difficult side, of course they are. But I think they know tomorrow will be very difficult for them too. I think they know that," he said.

"My feeling about football hasn't changed [since his Porto days]. I'm exactly the same.

"Maybe my Italian friends see football in a different way, like a bit more of a drama in difficult moments.

"I was never like this, since working in England I even improved myself in this aspect.

"Everyone's been speaking for two weeks about drama and Inter always go out in the last 16. I prefer to think a different way and the possibility of Inter knocking out the double champions."
