Fergie ready to send Porto out of Champions League

Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson sends his team into battle against Porto tonight looking to secure a record eighth successive quarter-final berth in a tournament he rates higher than the World Cup.

Ferguson has already won the Champions League once but the Scot knows if he is to lift the coveted trophy for a second time, United must not only overcome the single goal lead this evening’s Portuguese visitors hold, but also navigate their way through a draw boasting the elite of the European club game.
