Jose: United's Five Alive

Internazionale boss Jose Mourinho believes United have a real chance of winning every trophy on offer this season.

Mourinho was humble in defeat after United beat Inter 2-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday. And such was the Reds' strength that the Inter boss has backed a clean sweep for Sir Alex.

"Right now they're at their maximum level," he said. "They have experience, quality, great physical condition and intensity in their game.

"That's why they're European champions. That is why they can win everything. I think they can win five trophies."

Echoing Sir Alex's comment that the Reds deserved to go through, the Inter boss said: "I'm honest in my way of analysing things and they (United) are better than us. My team played to their maximum of their potential. They couldn't have given any more.

"The result could have been completely different, yes, because Inter could have won the tie with a little bit of luck at the right moments.

"We had four big chances to score in the first half. We had a really big possibility of going in front (on away goals) with 1-1 at half-time. At the start of the second half they (United) did nothing to score the second goal, but they did it.

"Still we had a good reaction. We had another big possibility to leave the fear in the air with Adriano (hitting the post) but we didn't score. We didn't have that little bit of luck you need to win big matches."
