With a stronger side than the one that got to the final i think they can overcome AC Milan and go on to win. And of course United will be pleased compared to what Liverpool, Arsenal and Celtic have drawn. Why has everyone written off Arsenal.

Although Jose has left that does not appear to have affected the team too much and they are still playing good football. The draw has put us up against Olympiakos, a team we should overcome and if we can avoid injuries I believe we could go all the way, signing another striker in January who is not cup-tied may also be a good idea. The only worry that I have is that so far we have lost just two games under Avram Grant but they have been big games against Man Utd and Arsenal, he still needs to prove his worth at Chelsea I feel although so far so good for the Israeli.
