Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken out after his side progressed to the last eight of Europe's elite club competition...Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken of his happiness after Manchester United defeated Inter 2-0 on Wednesday.
United had to work hard to progress, but goals from Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo did prove to be enough to see the defending European champions move into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Ferguson, who is eyeing his third European title, admits he was relieved to get through to the next round after what he called a difficult draw.
“I thought it was a really difficult draw given their experience, so we are happy to get through, it was a good result for us,” he told the Manchester Evening News after the match.
“We started very well and I thought it could be one of those nights when we are going to score a few goals.
“But then we started doing flicks and passing balls into space where no one was and back heels – it was practice football. Inter should have been level at half time.
“We played a team at its maximum potential in terms of experience and they played to their maximum. To get through that is a big plus because we will be better in the next round.”
The Red Devils now turn their attentions back to domestic matters, with Liverpool set to visit Old Trafford in a crucial Premier League match this weekend.
