David
Moyes believes Manchester United can win the UEFA Champions League
after their stirring second-leg comeback against Olympiacos Soccerway report.
After a disastrous performance in the
first leg in Greece, where United lost 2-0, the reigning Premier League
champions were under pressure to turn in a much-improved showing at Old
Trafford on Wednesday.
They did just that, Robin van Persie
scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 win which saw Moyes and his men through to
the last eight of the competition.
United are the lowest-ranked side in
their respective league in Friday’s draw, but Moyes sees no reason why
his side can’t go on to win the trophy for a fourth time.
“I hope so,” he said. “We will probably go into the quarter-final tie as underdogs but I don’t see why not.
“This football club is capable of it. If
we play to our capabilities, which we’ve not shown that often this
season, I think we can be a match for any team.
“This club has history in the competition. It knows what to do at this stage.
“We’re not shocked to be in the quarter-finals – it’s something we do regularly. We will try to get into the last four now.”
On several occasions this season United
have produced a result which many believed would turn their faltering
season around, but too often a positive performance was followed up by a
disappointing one, and Moyes hopes that they can buck that trend this
time.
“I don’t want to say this is the moment but in the same breath I really hope it is,” he said.
“It was a really good result in Europe as we came from 2-0 behind. We hadn’t played well in the first game but we put it right.”
