Premier League - Chelsea vs Manchester United

"My feeling, which is based on years of communicating with Sir Alex and some inside information, is Man United are not happy, but they are calm. They trust David. David trusts them."

"I don’t think David is under pressure. The pressure is something virtual. It is something that comes from the media as a consequence of not having the best results."

"The most important thing in all of this is not the pressure that comes from the outside, it’s the reality of the inside."

"I think Chelsea have the advantage because they are playing better football."

"They're playing at home, they were very good against Liverpool in their last match at home and they feel good at home under José. They haven't lost even one game in the league."

"But Manchester United have won six of their last seven games so they are also in form. They know that is their last chance if they want to fight for the title this season."

"I think it will be a big mistake from everybody to judge David Moyes now. We need to wait and see and look again after one year I think."

"At any time when you are the manager of Manchester United it's not easy but especially if you come after maybe the best manager ever in Alex Ferguson."

"I think if you look at the last six or seven weeks the team are better but still David Moyes is looking for the right formula to improve the team and make them better."

"But I think we need to wait and see because imagine if we had judged Alex Ferguson after his first 20 games."

"He was also not great in his first 20 games but he has had an unbelievable career."
