Morainho: English teams shouldn't be treated as favorite in the Champions League.

José Murinho insists that Manchester Junajid's team should not be treated as favourite for winning the Champions League because there are many team stronger than the English club, even though it seems to have returned to glorious years. There are 4-5 teams in the Champions League with an incredible level of quality, experience [...]

There are 4-5 teams in the Champions League with an incredible level of quality, experience and knowledge to move on. That's what makes the difference.

In addition, there are many teams that are similar to the League of Europe. We should try to qualify for the top 16 and enjoy that special phase with direct elimination together with the best teams in Europe”, Murijo said.

It's not low expectations to think you should win tomorrow, as I think. But we should be humble and acknowledge that our adversary has the same motivation. The opponent has come here and wishes to give Manchester United a bad taste, as he did in the past. But we enter the match with the idea that we can win it. Let's say at this moment that we are candidates for this or that... we are just candidates for tomorrow”, the Portuguese coach said.

Asked also of the difficulties facing the English teams in comparison with rivals, Murinho did not hesitate to paint negatively football in Great Britain, where the calendar is too busy.

There is nothing to say in this regard. It's a waste of time to talk about what we can do, because we can't do it. We have to admit there are differences from other countries. That's the way things are”, Murinho declared.
