Manchester United manager David Moyes has paid tribute to his side for their performance against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils ran out 4-2 winners against the German outfit at Old Trafford in their first game of the new Champions League season.

Moyes is pleased with the number of goals that his side scored and believes that United used their experience to full effect.

"The performance was really good tonight and the result was great," Moyes told Sky Sports News.

"I think recently we've not scored as many goals as we would have liked but we've got four tonight and maybe could have scored a couple more.

"The players showed their experience out there. After Leverkusen got back at 1-1, we had to make sure that we went again and won the game."

A Wayne Rooney brace along with goals from Robin van Persie and Antonio Valencia secured the win for United.
