Shares in Manchester United have held firm despite another difficult week for the club on the pitch.

A 2-0 defeat to Olympiacos in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie has placed manager David Moyes under even further pressure as their disappointing season continues.

However, the loss in Greece failed to have an impact on the New York Stock Exchange as the club's shares stayed steady on Wednesday.

An initial drop in the share price when the market first opened caused some concern but it finally closed 33 cents up at $14.98.

The positive news off the pitch is unlikely to distract Moyes, who takes his side to meet West Bromwich Albion next Saturday.
