Mourinho happy to draw holders United

Inter coach Jose Mourinho was pleased to be paired with holders Manchester United in the Champions League last 16 draw.

Mourinho's Chelsea beat United to the 2005 and 2006 Premier League titles before Ferguson's men won the championship in 2007 with Mourinho leaving the London club the following season.

"I am satisfied, I wanted the best and I have got the European champions who maybe in two days will be world champions," he said.

"It is a team with the current Ballon D'Or winner (Ronaldo), a great coach in Alex Ferguson and a stadium with a fantastic atmosphere. It will be unforgettable returning to Manchester.

"Some say I have a good record against Alex Ferguson but the record isn't mine, it's Chelsea's."

Mourinho also remarked on Arsenal against Roma and Chelsea versus Juventus.

"They are three 50/50 matches, anyone can win. Roma, however, will meet an opponent a little easier than ours or Juve's because Arsenal are neither Chelsea nor Manchester United," he said.
