Yes, but this Inter team seems very different with Mourinho. They are actually beating the big teams this year. They have an extraordinary amount of discipline, not to mention an impressive depth of talent. If United do win, it will be by a very narrow margin, It's not Inter I expect so much from, but Mourinho.
Defence is the key and united will have the edge there, and they will have the edge in players who can produce the moment of individual magic: to be honest I think it will be a breeze for Man U

What about Mourinho's Porto team that beat Man Utd?
2003/04 season? Don't remember the games very well but that Man Utd squad wasn't even near to Man Utd of today. If I remember correctly, Arsenal was much superior to Man Utd that season (whole season unbeaten) and even Chelsea (managed by our very own Ranieri) finished in front of them in EPL.

The point remains that Mourinho has beaten Ferguson too often for it to just be dismissed as lucky or a fluke.

Maybe but my point is that no matter how good Mourinho is at standing up to Ferguson the difference in strength between the 2 clubs is too much for Mourinho to make it up with his managerial skills.

Man Utd will edge it. Aaron is right, Man Utd have the better players, add to that they have the better manager. Their defense will contain Inter and their offense is way too efficient.

A Barca - Man Utd game would be a football feast in the Quarters.
