Manchester United need a miracle, can Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney lead Champions League comeback?

It's been a miserable season from start to finish for David Moyes' Manchester United, but they still have a heartbeat in this seasons UEFA Champions League. United travelled to Greece to take on Olympiakos in the first leg, and came home disappointed with a new low for the season, losing 2-0. Now, tonight they take them on at Old Trafford, and they're in need of a comeback of heroic proportions if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

United are expected to attack more than they have in previous games under Moyes' management, as they're in need of at least two goals to take the tie to extra time, however, if Moyes' men fail to deliver a performance that at least fills the club with pride, then the pressure will mount of him. If they are to win tonight they will progress in to the Champions League Quarter Finals, and if they can go all the way, they will see action in this very competition next season, if they fail to win it, this will be the last we see of United in this competition for a very, very long time.

Simply put, if Moyes' men cannot rise to the occasion tonight, he will struggle to comeback from this, despite who he signs in the summer. If they're to come back they will need a world class performance from Wayne Rooney, and Robin Van Persie will be looking to aid his star partner. There's no doubt that the duo are capable of performing on their day, but they've not had enough of those performances this season.

Strangely many still believe United will progress tonight, but if they go out without a whimper, then the pressure will be raised to an all-time high on David Moyes.
