IT WAS a case of mixing business with business for Man United cheif Ed Woodward last night, as he watched David Moyes's side slide out of Europe for what looks like it could be an extended absence from the Champions League.

Having seen the Red Devils beaten 3-1 by Bayern Munich he will have been hoping for more joy with the second part of his mission to Germany. According to the Daily Mirror his other reason for visiting the Allianz Arena was not to watch United's band of flops, but to try and thrash out a deal for one of the men who helped beat them, Toni Kroos.
