Cristiano Ronaldo: Manchester United Can Win All Five
The iconic Portuguese forward is typically confident as talk inevitably turns to a 'clean sweep' of trophies after United's triumph at Wembley today.
Cristiano Ronaldo believes that Manchester United are well capable of capturing all five trophies on their hit-list this season, after a triumphant visit to Wembley on Sunday afternoon ended with them adding the League Cup to the World Club Cup that they collected in Japan prior to Christmas.
The Red Devils won the title by beating Tottenham Hotspur on penalties after an energy-sapping 120 minutes of goalless yet gripping action, with goalkeeper Ben Foster, normally the understudy to the awesome Dutchman Edwin van der Sar, stepping up to make crucial saves to keep the game goalless, as well as keeping out Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara's spot-kick in the shoot-out.
And United's Portuguese superstar is confident that he and his team-mates have what it takes to collect a 'clean sweep' of silverware this campaign.
"It is quite difficult to achieve but we are going from game to game," he told English tabloid The Sun, after the game.
"We always have the opportunity to win everything. We’ve won this cup and now we don’t have much time to celebrate."
United are seven points clear in the Premier League, face Fulham in the quarter-final of the FA Cup, and their Champions League tie with Inter of Italy is deadlocked at 0-0 after the first leg in Milan last week.
