Sami Hyypia - Pressure is on David Moyes to perform

Bayer Leverkusen manager Sami Hyypia has insisted that David Moyes is under pressure to provide the results at Manchester United.

The former Liverpool player takes his Bundesliga side to Old Trafford as the face the Red Devils in their opening Champions League group stage encounter tomorrow evening.


However, Hyypia hopes that the expectations placed on the former Toffees boss would provide his team with a pleasant and easier atmosphere to play in.

The 39-year-old told reporters :"I think he is more under pressure.We can be quite relaxed and enjoy tomorrow. 

"We need to give respect but not too much, we have to have courage to play football as we can, only then do we have the chance to get something from this game.

"David Moyes is an experienced manager, I think everyone should give him a little bit more time to get things running, hopefully that doesn't happen tomorrow that they get things running."
