Speaking ahead of tonight's game Ferguson thinks this year could be United's year to win the Champions League

"We have an opportunity with a new team that's full of promise and I think they could do it,"

"I think there's maybe half a dozen teams that could win the European Cup, that's how open it is.

"You have Bayern Munich who've started the group very well and I think Lyon are a team we should really pay attention to. I think their form has been fantastic.

"Of course Barcelona you can't dismiss them, and I think that the four English teams will have a chance."

"We have shown promise in a lot of games this year and what we need to do is to maintain that and show a consistency that good teams have,"

"I'm quite positive about it, there's a good spirit among the players and I think the most encouraging thing for me is the squad as a whole have done well. No matter how many changes we've made in games, they've still given us the right answers.

"They've played with great imagination in the game and it doesn't matter which team we're playing they're all showing these traits. I think we have a chance this year."
