Man Utd will only miss Champions League for one year - Moyes

David Moyes is supremely confident that Manchester United will only be out of the Champions League for one season.

The Red Devils will not compete in the 2014/15 campaign of Europe's top club competition after they were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night.

United's Premier League failure this term, which sees them sitting seventh on the table, will deny them the opportunity to compete against Europe's elite but Moyes is not overly concerned.

"We've not got Champions League football, that's the way it looks," he told Sky Sports. "I believe that it's not far away, hopefully it'll be one year where we go to rebuild.

"Our focus now is getting a team which can make sure we are back in this competition, because it's a great competition, we've really enjoyed it, there's no shame in going out in the quarter-finals to Bayern Munich, because they are a good side.

"The players have played really well, it shows the quality of the players we've got. We'll regroup and we'll start building towards being in the competition again."
