players in the penalty area in front of goalkeeper, our performance was bad, it
did not have only a few opportunities."

results to come out empty-handed in this difficult season for him, after he
failed to maintain the title of the Premier League, which is made in the last
season, where it is currently in seventh place in the ranking of the contest,

season for the first time since the season 1995-1996, as the team also failed
to win the FA Cup and English League Cup this season.
The artistic director of Manchester David Moyes said "The
exit against Bayern (defending champion) is not something shameful."
Moyes Added "There were some positive points, I think
we did what we should have done and made things look tough on them. Technically,
we tried to narrow the space in front of them, and we do it for long periods.
And I feel very disappointed for wasting all the opportunities that we had to
add a second goal and our inability to withstand in the end. "
The management of the game by Moyes criticized by Gary
Neville Former England star of the team, who confirmed that, the team he should
do better than that during the game, especially after advancing with a goal.
Neville Said to (Sky Sports) television, "The
management of the game following the progress with a goal was pretty bad from
Manchester for about 15 minutes.
"Even after the late half in 71 minutes, they should
maintain that conclusion even before the end of five minutes, then repeat try
again in another way. But they did not stop the onslaught launched by the
Bayern players on them."
“Manchester after scoring the goal, the players need to
stand up for five or ten minutes at least, but the killer equalizer came after just
one minute, and I think it negatively affected the psychological aspect of the
players until the end of the game."
