Cristiano Ronaldo feels that, having won all their Champions League fixtures so far this season, United are showing the wherewithal to win the competition for a third time.
The Portuguese winger hit an injury-time winner against Sporting Lisbon to give United top spot in Group F with 15 points from five games, and Ronaldo is already relishing next year's second round matches.
"It's fantastic, I think we're in a good way," he told MUTV. "We've won all our games and we're playing well. We play the way we like to see Manchester play and in the second round I hope we do the same job. I think we have the team, group and coaches, everything to win the Champions League."
Having deliberately failed to celebrate his winner on Matchday 1 against former side Sporting, Ronaldo couldn't let his dramatic free-kick go without recognition at Old Trafford.
"Anderson caught me and told me to do something for my mum, my family and I said ok," he said. "But my conscience is still the same and the people will understand.
"I always try to score, and I am happy to score again - but not just because it's Sporting. I said before, the people of Sporting respect me and I respect Sporting, but my colours now are red and I feel that's for good."
