Moyes: "It Was The Sort Of Performance That I'd Been Hoping For"

After securing place in UEFA Champions League round of 16 with a comfortable 5-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United manager, David Moyes has spoken of his delight at his team's performance:

"There were so many good performances throughout the whole team."

"We were playing a very good team in Bayer Leverkusen tonight... we have seen the strength of the Bundesliga over past few years with the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund doing well in the Champions League, and Bayer Leverkusen are second the league at the moment, so we can see that they have real quality."

"It was an all round great performance from us."

During his post-match interview, Moyes revealed that although he was pleased to secure qualification for the knockout rounds, due to the incredible successes of his predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson, getting out of the group stages is expected:

"I am just hoping to maintain the previous standards set by Ferguson, and this means that qualification for the knockout rounds is expected, along with strong performances in the other cups and the Premier League."

"The performance tonight was one the type of one which I had been hoping for. There have been signs over the past few weeks that we have been progressing and getting better, and in some of the matches we could have went and scored four or five, so I'm glad that we did tonight."

"It was probably the best performance so far."
