Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho is convinced Manchester United are "afraid" of his players ahead of tonight's Champions League tie.

Mourinho said: "I don't think they are coming here to play eye to eye, to try to win the game here.

"I have paid great attention to every match in the previous year in the Champions League. Man United changed. They will go to this game with a different approach to normal.

"I know Sir Alex doesn't like the word - and a team like Man United doesn't like the word - so I'm not saying they are afraid of us. But they respect us. They know they can lose."
