Manchester United will sack coach David Moyes if he fails to impress in the club's next three matches, it has been reported.
According to UK newspaper, The Sun, Moyes will be given three games, against Olympiakos, West Ham and Manchester City respectively, to prove he should remain in charge at Old Trafford.
The former Everton coach held a crisis meeting with members of his coaching team at the club’s Carrington base on Monday, with the view to masterminding a Champions League comeback against Olympiakos.
He later called on the club's supporters to roar his team past Olympiakos and into the Champions League quarter-finals.
According to Moyes, United have a uphill task against Olympiakos Wednesday, having lost the first leg 2-0. However, the former Everton coach believes that the fans can play a significant role in overturning the defeat.
"The players are capable of turning it around. We're all desperate to put things right and make sure we play better to give the supporters here something to shout about," Moyes told the club's official website.
He said" "They shouted [against Liverpool] and we didn't give them anything on the field. When we went to Greece, the Olympiakos fans played their part so hopefully our fans will roar us on.
"We have to go for the throat to get the win. We won't be gung-ho but we will certainly go with a mindset to overhaul the deficit as quickly as we can.
"We won't be reckless as we could find ourselves with a bigger mountain to climb but we can be forceful. We have to be if we're to keep ourselves in the Champions League."
