Inter Milan boss Mourinho: I feel at home at Man Utd

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho says he feels at home at Old Trafford - but isn't after Sir Alex Ferguson's job. Ahead of their Champions League clash tonight, Mourinho said: "I first came here in 2004 and then it really was all new for me. Not now, I know every little detail as if it were my house.

"Today I chatted with the groundskeeper and he asked if I could do him a favour and get the team to train on the area of the pitch where the sun was still shining.

"Many things have changed for me since 2004, but not my way of seeing football, my passion for the sport, and that is what I will tell my players. They should enjoy such an important event."

He added: "Would I replace Sir Alex Ferguson? Maybe in 20 years… No, it's absolutely not true, he is a strong man and a winner, he can do this job for a long time to come.

"It does me good to read certain things in the English papers, as they compensate for what has been written in the Italian ones. At least that way I get a bit of balance on people's opinions of me."
