Manchester United
goalkeeper David de Gea feels they're capable of defeating Champions League opponents Olympiacos tomorrow night.
The Reds have work to do in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 tie against the Greek champions after falling to a tame 2-0 defeat in Athens.
"We know we didnﾡﾯt play a good match in Greece," the goalkeeper told UEFA.com. "They were better than us and they won.
"But now there is the return leg at Old Trafford and I think that, with our fans behind us, we have to go onto the pitch and fight and attack from the first minute. By playing and pressing well, we still have a good chance.
"We will give everything we have and play a lot better than we did there. With the atmosphere and the team we have, we can succeed and hopefully reach the next round."

Man Utd player-coach Giggs furious over Moyes bust-up claims
Manchester United
player-coach Ryan Giggs is furious over claims of a bust-up with manager David Moyes.
The Manchester Evening News says Giggs is angry that the rumour mongers have turned to an alleged but unfounded break up of his relationship with the beleaguered manager as the latest focal point to fuel a crisis at the Reds and de-stabilise the Moyes regime.
Giggs was appointed to Moyesﾡﾯ coaching staff when he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson
but has used the veteran sparingly this season.
His absence from Unitedﾡﾯs starting XI since the win at home to Cardiff City
at the end of January and four bench appearances before being overlooked for the 18 on duty against Liverpool has sparked the latest allegations of dressing room unrest.

Vieira excited about Man City whizkid Lopes
Manchester City
academy chief Patrick Vieira is delighted with the development of Marcos Lopes.
The 18 year-old has tasted first team football this season.
Vieira told the Manchester Evening News: ﾡﾰMarcos is a fantastic talent. He shows it week after week at youth level, but when you go to the first team it is a different level. He played really well at West Ham, and showed he can be a player for City in the next few years.
ﾡﾰWhat is important is he showed how good he is but at the same time he knows he has not finished improving and learning.
ﾡﾰHopefully next year he will be with the first team, and being with the likes of Yaya Toure and David Silva
will help to make him a better player."
