Olympiakos manager Michel admits he has compassion for his Manchester United counterpart David Moyes.
The Greek club are preparing for the Champions League Round of 16 second leg at Old Trafford on Wednesday night with the reigning English premiers struggling for form.
Moyes' Red Devils were beaten 2-0 by Olympiakos in Athens last month before succumbing 3-0 to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and Michel is aware that his side's opponents are in a difficult position.
"David Moyes is suffering and I don't like to see any manager suffering. I have sympathy for him," the Olympiakos manager said.
"We know he works hard, but sometimes results don't mirror the hard work done.
"It's nothing personal to David Moyes. It's a big opportunity to knock Manchester United out of the competition, but David Moyes is not an enemy."
Alejandro Dominguez and Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell were both on target for the Greek champions at the Karaiskakis Stadium on February 25 ahead of the return bout in Manchester tomorrow.
