"We know United are not allowed to make any mistakes due to their position."

Olympiakos goalkeeper Roy Carroll, who played for the Red Devils from 2001 to 2005 said United "look nervous" ahead of the first-leg game.

And Michel is optimistic about the Greek side's chances of pulling off a shock win after they progressed through a challenging group containing Paris St-Germain, Benfica and Anderlecht.

In domestic competition they are also enjoying a good season. Olympiakos are top and unbeaten in the Greek Super League and have only lost twice at home in the league in four years.

"People say it'll be a very demanding tie and that's true. They are favourites, but nothing says we can't beat Manchester United," Michel added.
