Moyes has Real respect

David Moyes is hopeful of Manchester United securing progression to the next round of the Champions League tonight, but respects opponents Real Sociedad.

United are out in Spain this Tuesday evening for a Group A encounter that could see them secure a place in the Round of 16.

“I feel we're playing better and getting some good results to go with it. Long may that continue,” considered Moyes in his pre-match address.

“I won't take anything for granted. I have a lot of respect for Sociedad. We have to play well if we're going to get those ten points, which will get us over the line.

“We've got ourselves into a good position in the group and we have to try to maintain that. I think our experienced players have shown they're used to the Champions League and that's shown in the games. I hope that continues.”

Adnan Januzaj continues to draw attention for his breakthrough period with United.

“He gets kicked up and down in training every day. But he gets up. He has learned from the good professionals that he has got to get on with it and accept it.

“He only needs to look at Lionel Messi, who is probably the best in the world at getting kicked, getting up and getting on with it and continually producing magic all the time.

“I am not in any way comparing him to Lionel Messi but I am saying we hope the way he gets up after he has been kicked is the way Adnan continues to behave.”
