Over the last few days, Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has tried to bait Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson into strategic miscues in the first leg of their Champion League playoff. Mourinho boasted how Inter would send Man U packing out of the tournament on March 16th.
Yet, even with many of their stars either out or playing injured, United were allowed to play their free-flowing game, especially in the first half. Their back four were hardly pressured throughout the game. While Inter did look dangerous in the second half, they were hardly a threat to United with the defence seemingly in total control.
Knowing how Ferguson's mind works, it is clear that drawing at Inter was like a win. United will be able to field a much strengthened team with main stay Nemanja Vidic back from suspension.
