Inter Milan were drawn against Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League this afternoon, and the Nerazzurri manager is content with the opponents his side have been pitted against.

Mourinho commented, “Yes, I am happy now, because I have a desire to play against the best. Manchester United is a team of champions, with a super coach like Alex Ferguson. We will have a great deal of motivation.”

The match will surely stand out as one of the most mouthwatering encounters to watch in the second round, with both teams looking in great form. We can expect to see many fireworks in this match up.

Meanwhile, in domestic competition, Jose Mourinho's Inter will attempt to end Siena's unbeaten run at home tomorrow night, with the Nerazzurri travelling to Tuscany for their final game of the year on the back of a seven-game winning streak in Italy's top-flight.
