Sami Hyypia: 'David Moyes is under pressure'

Bayer Leverkusen manager Sami Hyypia hopes that his team can take advantage of the pressure put on new Manchester United boss David Moyes.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Sami Hyypia has said that David Moyes is under pressure to succeed in charge of Manchester United.

The Finn takes his team to Old Trafford for their opening Champions League encounter tomorrow evening, and hopes that the expectations placed on the Scot will provide an easier atmosphere to play in.

"I think he is more under pressure," the 39-year-old told reporters. "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."

Moyes was named as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor in May.
