Manchester United is in the Champions League quarterfinals, but they have virtually no shot at finishing in the top-4 of the Premier League.

David Moyes says United is in major transition.

“It is underway in its own way,” said Moyes. “You don’t just suddenly change things around.

“As I said the other day, a lot of other clubs have had to change and they have had to do rebuilding jobs and look at the time it has taken them to do that or get to a level of competing.

“We hope it won’t take us as long as some of those clubs have taken. I think we have got a period of time where we are going to have to make sure we get to that level which we are not at just now.”

United lost 3-0 to Manchester City on Tuesday.

Alex Ferguson hand-picked Moyes as his successor last summer.
