Ferguson is confident United can complete a Premier League and Champions League double in Moscow after pipping Chelsea to the domestic title.

The wily Scot believes United will go into the game in a better frame of mind that Chelsea following their Premier League success.

However, Grant is refusing to get involved in Ferguson's mind games and is confident his side can claim their first ever European Cup success in Moscow.

"No team has the advantage and Sir Alex can say whatever he likes," said Grant.

"They want to take the Champions League and we want to take the Champions League but no team has an advantage before the game.

"I'm very confident we can beat United. We beat them two weeks ago at Stamford Bridge.

"I don't think they're better than us. In these games small things make the difference. It's very exciting because it's the first time my club are in the Champions League final."

"Big talk, arrogant statements, and inflated ego's spouting from the 'Prawn Sandwich Brigade'. One wonders if they have ever been to a live game. Let them continue in that vain and let's stay mum and see what happens next Wednesday. Let's not forget empty vessels make the most noise. KTBBFH - Chelsea; Chelsea!!! "
