Inter president Massimo Moratti insists his side are not scared of Manchester United following their 3-0 win over Chelsea in the Premier League as he echoes Jose Mourinho's earlier words.

The Nerazzurri will clash with United in February and Moratti has been keeping a close eye on their Champions League opponents. Although the reigning European champions are favourites to win, Moratti is not afraid of going to Old Trafford.

"Are we scared? No. We know Manchester United play in this way," Moratti told Sky Sport Italia. "They are the European and World Champions, not just any old team.

"United also have great players. They don't scare u, but we have to be careful and watch them."

Mario Balotelli could be leaving the San Siro as his future becomes increasingly unclear. However, Moratti believes he can turn the situation around.

"We are chasing the Scudetto and Champions League, Balotello is an important part of this team and myself and Mourinho have every faith in him," added the chief. "We will decide if he will stay or go. Anyway, we will have to evaluate the situation."
