Olympiacos. Not Bayern Munich or
Barcelona. Olympiacos. Not master coach Pep Guardiola. Michel. Not
Lionel Messi. Alejandro Dominguez.
And
not down to 10 men either. Unlike Arsenal and Manchester City last
week, Manchester United had their full complement on the field. It just
didn’t look like it.
They contrived to lose, not to giants, but to one of the also-rans of the competition. Olympiacos are not potential winners.
Chances
are they will be removed in the quarter-finals by the first good team
they play, if they manage to survive the return leg at Old Trafford. The
odds must favour them now.
‘Can they score? They always score.’ Those were the words that summed up the old United. Here they did not even manage a shot on target, let alone a goal.
Until now, the performances in Europe have been the saving grace for Moyes. Emphatic against Bayer Leverkusen, gutsy in Donetsk.
