Everton midfielder Kevin Mirallas believes that the pressure is on for Manchester United when they take on Olympiacos in the Champions League tonight.
The Red Devils are unlikely to qualify for the elite European competition next season due to currently being 11 points off the fourth spot in the Premier League table.
Winning the competition could be their only route back into the competition next season, but Mirallas believes that they may find it tough to get past Olympiacos.
"It's going to be a difficult game for both teams," The Express quotes Mirallas as saying. "There is more pressure on Manchester United, given the way their season has gone.
"They are a little bit off the pace in the league. So for them it is a chance to save their season. They are almost obliged to go on and maybe win the Champions League.
"The away match is first for United and I know exactly what it's like to go there and play. It's not easy. Obviously they have a lot of quality players who will be able to cope with that environment and atmosphere, but I repeat it won't be easy for them playing out there in Greece."
Mirallas spent two years at Olympiacos before moving to Goodison Park.
