The Scottish tactician says their win against in the semi-final proves there is nothing that can stop them achieving their objective...After comfortably brushing Arsenal aside in the Champions League semi-final, manager Alex Ferguson is tipping Manchester United to retain the trophy in Rome on May 27.
Leading 1-0 from the first leg at Old Trafford, the Red Devils scored two away goals within the first 11 minutes at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday to pile the pressure on the Gunners.
United booked their place in the final by winning 3-1 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate, and the Scot believes their performance over the two legs prove they can beat anybody on their day.
"We have the quality, the energy, the drive and the ambition to make history and there’s no doubting our hunger to do it," Ferguson is quoted as saying by The Sun.
"Manchester United should have won this cup more times than we have and now we have another opportunity.
"When the chips are down, these players don’t let me down.
"You also saw that we play under pressure. We weren’t overawed by Arsenal’s aggressive start.
"But we kept playing our football and once we transferred the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo it was a big problem for them.
"This team has only been put together over the last two or three years but tonight you saw a real maturity in our performance.
"Good players will always be judged by the belief they have and tonight there were no individual performances. They were all star men."
