Moyes: We'll Try To Exploit Bayern's 'Little Bits Of Weakness'

Mar 30, 2014 1:27 PM

Manchester United has a difficult draw in facing Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday.

"When we drew them, I felt we'd drawn probably the best team in Europe at this present time," said David Moyes. "I think most people would agree with that. 

"I really enjoyed watching them last year as they have great energy. I quite enjoy German football actually and going to the games but Munich are a little bit of a class above the other teams, including Borussia Dortmund.

"We have got a really tough game and know exactly what we are going to get but we'll try to exploit little bits of weaknesses they have got. Pep (Guardiola) has taken over a really good team and added a bit himself with his own style. They have already won the Bundesliga quite comfortably so the focus is on the Champions League now."
