Hi friend, I think Manchester United can win quadruple with their performance now. They succeed beat InterMilan in Champion League. Their mission is close to reality. They win Carling Cup and Premiere League is 80% in their hand. Now they must work hard to achieve FA cup and Champion League. I think with their consistent performance, they can make it. How about your argument?? Do you feel the same with me. And what do you think which team is the hardest to beat in Champion League now ?

Yes, I feel that Man U this season has it to win the quadruple with this victory over Inter Milan yesterday...and they were not even playing well, but have home-ground advantage. I think that makes it 5 out of 8 English clubs that have made the quarter-finals. It shows how far the English teams have come to make such a big impact at the European level. I won't be surprised if two English teams make it to the finals. It might just be Man U vs Chelsea or Liverpool.
Man U has so much strength in depth that this may just be their best season yet. It seems more and more that the Premier League is a done deal, and this weekend's titanic clash with contenders Liverpool may just confirm that. Even a draw would be enough. If Man U wins, then they will be 10 points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand, and that I strongly feel will be too much ground for Liverpool to make if they want to launch a late challenge for the premiership. It won't be very long more before long-time Man U fans like me need to wait to pop the champagne to celebrate United's successes of this season.

It's certainly very possible. Even though Sir Alex continues to be realistic, I do believe that in the Man Utd dressing room there is this great belief that they can win the quadruple, or even quintuple, this season. Man Utd has been outstanding and consistent this season. They continue to perform well despite making changes to the starting eleven on a frequent basis.
I'm glad to see Man Utd beat Inter Milan at Old Trafford. From this performance, we can see the difference in standards between the English Premier League and the Italian Serie A. Inter Milan played very badly in the first leg, and was under par in the second leg. Despite the win, I think that Man Utd wasn't at their best and could've have played better and won by four to five goals.
This also highlights to all football fans out there on the difference between Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho. Who's the Special One now?
