United edged out relegation contenders Blackburn on Saturday with goals by  Rooney and Ronaldo, while Manchester City drew Liverpool at Anfield and inadvertently helped United climb 7 points ahead of the competition.

Now that Manchester United have a comfortable lead in the EPL, United can concentrate on  their Champions League  match against Italian league leaders Internazionale.

Inter is a team that sacked manager Roberto Mancini after he led them 3 straight Scudettos and brought in Jose Mourinho specifically to win the Champions League.

It’s a match I have been anticipating from the moment it was announced on December 19 of last year. I could only imagine Mourinho when he drew Sir Alex.

It is apparent Jose is worried and afraid to play United, I don’t think it was ever more clear then when he said Vidic should be banned for at least two champions league games for his incident in the Club World Cup final.

Sir Alex has made it clear he is going to Italy to win, but I am a little worried with the defensive situation at the moment. With Rafael, Wes Brown, and Gary Neville all injured and Vidic serving his suspension it only leaves Fabio da Silva, and maybe Evens and O’Shea but even they aren’t 100%.

Sir Alex said jokingly  “I think I can play Dimitar (Berbatov) as sweeper,”

Personally, I feel Rooney would be a hell of a defender, just an thought!
