Watford boss Claudio Ranieri has no issue with the team being heavy underdogs against Manchester United.

The Hornets take on a wounded Red Devils, who were last in action in the Premier League in a 2-0 loss at home to Manchester City before the international break.

Ranieri knows his side will have to be at their best to have any chance of getting something on Saturday.

"Look, always our managers are under pressure - in every country, every moment and also 20, 30 years ago," said Ranieri.

"This is our life. We are alone. We have to fight, we have to be very clear with our players and try to do our best.

"Then, you know in this sport, you can win, you can draw, you can lose, but it is important your conscience is okay.

"My life is pressure. I am under pressure every time. I love this kind of pressure. I think I do this job for the pressure.

"I am not happy, but I am alive when there is this kind of duel between the big team and the underdog team. I want my players to show their character, their arrogance, and try to do their best."
