Bayern Munich winger Robben takes aim at Man Utd tactics

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has taken aim at Manchester United's tactics on Tuesday night.

Bayern expected United to play defensively on Tuesday but Robben said he was surprised at just how cautious they were, comparing it to a game of handball.

"Before the game I said that I didn't like everybody saying how we'd win easily," said Robben after the 1-1 draw in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. "It's not easy when opponents don't leave any gaps.

"We wanted to play football but they tried to stop us. The English played very defensively - it was almost like in handball. We just have to finish it next week."
