Wilkins says the ease of which Real went on to beat rivals Barcelona shows how good United are.
“I think Manchester United’s business was done very, very quickly, very sharply and very professionally as well,” Wilkins said on Sky Sports.
“They look now as if they’ve got a squad of players that’s going to take some beating to be perfectly honest.
“When I saw them lose to Real Madrid I thought ‘wow’ that was a beating but at times Manchester United took them to the sword as well.
