Factfile on Olympiakos and Manchester United ahead of the Champions League last 16, first leg tie between the clubs on Tuesday:
Form: Given their very high standards, Manchester United are enduring a torrid season under Alex Ferguson's replacement David Moyes. Cut adrift of the top four in the Premier League, a return to next season's Champions League seems highly unlikely unless they can win the trophy for the fourth time in Lisbon in May. At least, after winning their group ahead of a limited Bayer Leverkusen side, they appear to have been handed a reasonably kind draw in the last 16. Olympiakos are unbeaten in their domestic league and seem certain to win yet another Greek title, but this is a big step up for a side that has lost top scorer Kostantinos Mitroglou, who was sold to Fulham in January.
