“Inexperience” Moyes Will Seek Advice To Tackle Bayern Munich

David Moyes has admitted that Manchester United got the toughest team after his side was paired with Champions Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals draws on Friday.

Moyes said he was happy United was part of the draw, but the former Everton manager quickly added that not many people gave his side a chance to overturn a two-goal deficit to beat Olympiakos 3-0 at Old Trafford to book their spot in the last eight.

“So, in a lot of ways, it didn’t really matter who we drew but I’ve got to say we’ve probably got the favourites and they are the defending champions – so it’s a really tough draw.”Moyes said.

“I am thrilled that we were in that draw and the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After being 2-0 down after the away leg at Olympiakos, I don’t think there were too many people putting us through to the next round.”

As for playing the first leg at Old Trafford, he added: “I always think you want to be at home in the second leg and that would be the preference.

“But the way the games are going now, counter-attack football, and teams taking a different approach to playing away, it matters less.”

And talking about Van Persie’s injury Moyes said: “He needs another scan. It’s not totally conclusive so we need to check him out.

“All I can say he won’t be available for West Ham.”

Moyes accepts he has little Champions League experience but is not unperturbed going into a match against the Bundesliga champions-elect next month, saying: “I’ve had help from a lot of people around us.
