Ferguson: "I'll need some good wine"

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he is relishing the prospect of facing Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.

He revealed his belief that the clash, which will be the first time United will have faced former player Cristiano Ronaldo, is the "tie of the round".

"Well, it's the tie of the round," Ferguson told the club's official website.

"It's a great opportunity for our fans to see Cristiano again and also for me to meet up with Jose again - I'll need to order some good wine!"
