Benfica president to lead club delegation to Manchester
Benfica president, Luis Felipe Vieira, is expected to lead the delegation, which will travel to Manchester United for their UEFA Champions League game.
The Eagles are to take on the English Premier League giants at Old Trafford and the travelling party from Lisbon will be headed by the superemo himself.
In the earlier fixture between the two European powerhouses, both had to settle for a share of the points, but it the actual game was arguably dominated by Benfica. However taking on the Red Devils at Old Trafford is a different proposition and it remains
to be seen whether they can replicate their earlier feats.
Despite the tedious task facing them, Vieira, has backed his club to put up a decent performance against the English champions.
Speaking to reporters, the official said that he has a talented squad at the helm and he believed that they would be able to match the threat of Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s side.
“We have an excellent group and I believe in the skills and talent of our team," Luis Felipe was quoted as saying.
Although the chairman remains confident in his club’s abilities, it remains to be seen whether the Lisbon outfit can grind out a result against Manchester United, who are playing at home for this one.
