Former Inter winger Amantino Mancini has said that Inter are currently ahead of AC Milan in regard to who is best placed to win the Scudetto, according to a report in the Italian media.

Speaking during an interview with FootballNews24, Amantino Mancini explained that Inter are ahead of their city rivals right now and emphasised the good work that Simone Inzaghi has done at both Lazio and with the Nerazzurri.

“I see Inter as ahead of AC Milan. Simone Inzaghi did a great job in his years at Lazio and even now in the Nerazzurri he is doing very well. At the moment Inter have more quality than AC Milan.”

Amantino Mancini did not have the level of success at Inter as many hoped he would given he had shown excellent form at AS Roma before the move.

He feels that there was no issue in terms of how he approached his time at the club, but there was a lot of high quality players in the squad to compete against for positions.

“The impact in the Nerazzurri was difficult, because Inter had a team with many champions. It is difficult to give an answer to why I did not manage to perform as in the days of Roma. I was physically well and mentally too, the approach was the right one.”

Inter currently sit just one point ahead of AC Milan in the Serie A table but will hope to stretch away this weekend.
