Manchester United manager David Moyes has slammed the team's footballers for defending like 'schoolboys' following their dumping from the Champions League after a 3-1 loss to holders Bayern Munich.

Despite a thunderbolt strike from Patrice Evra, goals from Mario Mandzukic, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben saw United exit the tournament meekly, with boss Moyes admitting it may be a while before United grace the Champions League again.

According to the Mirror, Moyes said that the Old Trafford side conceded too quickly in the game like 'schoolboys', adding that despite having a great chance 2-1 into the game, a good playing effort by Bayern's players and a couple of small errors cost them dearly.

 

However, Moyes believes that United can come back into Champions League football after a year if they focus well and rebuild their side.
