Pires looking forward to United tie

Villarreal winger Robert Pires is ready for the Champions League clash against Manchester United.

The former Arsenal ace admits it will be another type of game against Manchester United at Old Trafford, following their 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend.

“The game on Wednesday against United is a different story altogether to the Depor match,” Pires told Fifa.com.

“We are facing one of the best teams in Europe and it will be a very intense match.

“It can be difficult to maintain such a high level of concentration and we will have to play at the top of our game.”

Pires has struggled with a muscle injury and only came on as a substitute against Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend.
