Muntari: United are running scared
Thursday 8 January, 2009

Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari claims that Manchester United are scared of facing the Nerazzurri.

After finishing second in their Champions League group, the Beneamata were handed the daunting task of taking on the European champions in the last 16.

But while February 24's trip to Old Trafford is a big challenge, Muntari is ful of confidence.

“Manchester United are a strong team, but we are also very good and they are scared of us,” Muntari told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We aren't easy to beat and we have learned from our mistakes in the last round.

“I'm sure we will turn in two great performances and give them a real test.”

Muntari joined Inter during the summer after Inter had failed to lure Frank Lampard.

“When I was in England I got a call from Jose Mourinho and he told me that Lampard was first choice,” the ex-Portsmouth and Udinese man recalled.

“I told him I was ready and that's how it worked out. I like everything about Mourinho - he knows how to manage his players and every training session is unique.

“Mourinho just has to look at you in the dressing room and you are motivated.”
