Manchester United in pole position for Champions League glory
When it comes to Europe, the Red Devils have a bit more going for them than Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool.

Come the Champions League final in Moscow I can guarantee you that it will be the Red Devils in the Red Square. In so many ways Manchester United are the best prepared to go all the way in this competition.
United have the requisite depth of squad in every position, the procession of talented superstars, and the Portuguese icing on the cake, Cristiano Ronaldo, in captivating form and scoring in almost every game he plays this season.
In Sir Alex Ferguson the Old Trafford club have a manager with a wealth of experience, and crucially someone who carries knowledge of how to triumph in this tournament. This awareness of what is needed to go forward in the competition will come in very handy for United's next hurdle, against old foes Roma.
The Italian side have progressed well in Europe and will present a stern challenge to United, but I think they will have the quality to beat Roma.

Can't see Utd winning it to be honest. They have good talent but are perennial bottlers on the European stage. They'll have to knock out Barcelona in the semi and doubt they will manage that. Although Ferguson should be given another European Cup out of pity; how many attempts is it now to get to another final?! He would have been sacked years ago at Milan or Real Madrid for such a poor European record.
