Former Liverpool ace Dirk Kuyt says Manchester United are under ‘enormous pressure’
Veteran Feyenoord skipper dreaming of 'another great day to remember' against the Red Devils in the Europa League
DIRK KUYT claims Manchester United are under “enormous pressure” this season as the Feyenoord skipper targets another day to remember against the Red Devils.
Jose Mourinho’s side travelled to Rotterdam on Wednesday, minus Wayne Rooney, ahead of their opening Europa League group game against the Dutch league leaders tomorrow.
And former Liverpool forward Kuyt, now captain at Feyenoord, insists all the pressure is on the English side.
Kuyt said: “I think they are under enormous pressure, because everyone wants them to win the league.
“Everyone can see what it did to the team when they lost to City at the weekend, already there is more pressure on the team, although the teams in the Premier League have difficulties in challenging the teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
“For me, the Premier League is still the toughest league in the world, so it's great to watch. Of course I try to watch Liverpool every week, and all of the teams, and for me Manchester United is a contender to win the league this season, but there are a few more.”
