Man Utd v Olympiakos Sky 1, 7.45pm

David Moyes insisted his job was safe yesterday despite a string of woeful performances.

Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday was the latest in a series of disappointing results for the Scot in his debut season in charge at Old Trafford.

Going out of the Champions League to Olympiacos tonight would be another blow to the manager's credibility.

But when asked if not overcoming a two-goal deficit against the Greeks would have any impact on his future, Moyes told a press conference: "My future has not changed one bit.

"I have a great job. I know exactly the direction I want to go in.

"The season has not been as good as I had hoped but I have ideas that I will put in place when the time is right."

The United board are not thought to be considering replacing Moyes despite the reigning champions sitting in seventh in the domestic top flight.

Moyes said in his press conference that he has had a lot of support from the United hierarchy, including his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I speak with him regularly and when he is at the games.

"He has been very supportive. He told me it would be a difficult job before I came in, but he and (vice-chairman) Ed (Woodward) are very supportive."

A toothless United handed Olympiacos a 2-0 aggregate lead in Athens three weeks ago and only five teams have overturned a deficit of two or more goals in the Champions League era.

But Moyes remained confident he could get through to the quarter-finals.

He said: "We will try and do that. It is not something that has happened a lot but it is something we have to make happen.

"I believe in the players. They agree they have not showed it as often as they would like, but I hope they can show it tomorrow night."

Moyes feels the squad owe their support a good performance after a season that has seen them lose five home matches.

"I think the support inside Old Trafford has been phenomenal," Moyes added.

Defender Patrice Evra, who has won one Champions League and five Premier League titles since joining the club eight years ago, knows the team's performances have not been up to scratch, but he says they will give it their all against Olympiacos.

"It has been a difficult season for everyone," the left-back said.

"We are not used to losing games but everyone will fight for this club, everyone loves this club."

United will be without Chris Smalling (hamstring) and Jonny Evans (calf) for the match.
