Reds face Toffees

United have been drawn against Everton in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.

Ties to be played over the weekend of 18/19 April at Wembley Stadium.

[uggla]

gonna be a mighty fine game this

[Ben2710]

Yea but i don't agree with the semi finals being played at Wembley, they should be played at somewhere like Millennium Stadium or a neutral ground.

Will be interesting lets hope we don't slip up against you and we do a repeat of the Fulham scoreline

[uggla]

If he doesn't start with his strange vocabulary he will be able to.

Hukido won't make a topic for having fun but for getting jealous us (United fans)

[I.LuV.ManUTd!]

Yea but i don't agree with the semi finals being played at Wembley, they should be played at somewhere like Millennium Stadium or a neutral ground.

I hate the FA for this reason - why? They used the Millennium stadium when they wanted to and now just chuck it away. Going to Wembley in the FA Cup is exciting, but going twice is not.

going to the Millennium stadium is a fecking pain also

[ibarcaly]

Shamefully I have to say I went to a United game like 8 years ago. I was with a United friend and he dared me to go.

Good thing though, I have been to more then 5 Chelsea games

[Ben2710]

i know i got the idea from the Spurs thread so now shut up being child's and talk about football!

[P0werSlide]

Playing the semis at Wembley kinda takes the whole point outta getting to the final...thw whole thing was to get to Wembley on the final stage that attracted lower teams

[nascar1993]

I know but I think someone will copy us just for getting us nervous... with bad words against United ...

Boss not worried by Jose record

Sir Alex Ferguson insists he is not worried by his poor head-to-head record with Jose Mourinho who brings his Internazionale side to Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

The United boss has just one victory from 13 attempts against his former Premier League rival during Mourinho's time at Chelsea and FC Porto.

But Sir Alex says he is unconcerned by individual statistics, preferring to concentrate on the bigger picture at Old Trafford.

"It is strange just to have one win against him," admitted the boss at his pre-match press conference. "It proves I am not infallible. I am vulnerable, just like anyone else in football. But the personal record does not bother me one bit. It can happen.

"I look at this football club and I have every right to be proud of it and what it has achieved in the time I have been here. That is more important to me."

Of great importance to the United boss is the recovery from an ankle knock to Rio Ferdinand. The Reds' defender was forced out of the FA Cup victory at Fulham at the weekend, but trained on Tuesday morning and is fit to face Inter. The same goes for John O'Shea who has recovered from a hamstring tweak.

The Reds once again find themselves in the same situation as they did when they faced Barcelona in last season's semi-final tie and know only victory will do on Wednesday night. And while United's domination at the San Siro two weeks ago has given them plenty of confidence and belief going into the second leg, Sir Alex will be taking nothing for granted against the Serie A leaders.

"You can never be over confident in this position simply because an away goal can be a severe setback," he warned.

"That was the situation when we played Barcelona. What we required that night was magnificent concentration and really good focus in our game. We managed to get through because of both those factors.

"When you play an Italian side, you have got to be at your best," he added. "Their record over the years has been fantastic.

"AC Milan have won the European Cup seven times, all in the modern era, which I believe makes them the most successful side because Real Madrid won their first five when European football was just beginning.

"Inter Milan have every right to go into the match thinking they can win. They are seven points clear at the top of their league and have a lot of experience. We expect a tough game but they should expect one as well."

Man Utd v Inter Milan preview





A quarter-final place will be up for grabs when Manchester United face Inter Milan on Wednesday.
With the UEFA Champions League having reached the knockout stages, both sides will be dreaming of lifting the trophy in Rome on 27th May.
However, that ultimate goal remains some way off, with an intriguingly poised contest at Old Trafford representing the next hurdle for these European heavyweights.
A goalless first leg at Giuseppe Meazza a fortnight ago has ensured that the return fixture has become a make-or-break battle of epic proportions.
United, who will looking to stretch their 20-game unbeaten run in continental competition, are past masters at grinding out results when the stakes are high and victory by any margin would be enough to see them through.
Inter, meanwhile, know an away goal would put them in the driving seat as Jose Mourinho looks to mastermind another memorable triumph over his old adversary Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Portuguese coach boasts an enviable record against his Red Devils counterpart, losing just once in 13 meetings, but his current charges have struggled against English opposition down the years.
Inter have failed to win any of their last five meetings against Premier League sides in the knockout stages of the Champions League, while their last visit to Old Trafford, in 1999, ended in a 2-0 defeat.
With United having kept a clean sheet in seven of their last nine outings in the competition, and still on course to claim an unprecedented quintuple, the Italians could be in for more misery in midweek.
Welcome return

Ferguson's cause has certainly been boosted by the news that Rio Ferdinand is fit enough to take his place at the heart of United's defence.
The England international had been a major doubt after picking up an ankle injury against Fulham on Saturday, but will be ready for European action.
John O'Shea is another pushing for a starting berth after successfully shaking off a heel problem.
The Irishman is expected to slot in at right-back, with Ferdinand set to partner Nemanja Vidic in the centre of the back four.
Long-term absentees Gary Neville and Wes Brown remain sidelined, along with Rafael da Silva, but Ferguson has no fresh injury or suspension concerns to contend with.
Injury woes

In contrast, Mourinho has seen his defence decimated by injuries in the build up to the game.
Marco Materazzi, Nicolas Burdisso and Christian Chivu will all miss the crunch contest after picking up knocks in recent weeks.
Materazzi and Burdisso were forced out of Inter's 2-0 win over Genoa at the weekend, sustaining hamstring and thigh problems respectively.
Argentine centre-half Walter Samuel is also doubtful, with Mourinho unlikely to risk the former Real Madrid man.
With their foundations rocked, Inter will be hoping their attacking unit can fire on all cylinders, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Adriano expected to lead the line.
