Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he will not panic despite Wednesday night's disappointing Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.
Club captain Roy Keane has suggested that now might be the time to bring new players into the squad following their 2-1 defeat in Munich's Olympic Stadium.
Sir Alex has expressed his disappointment at the way his team allowed Bayern to score two first-half goals, but was at pains to point out that United were not an inferior team to the Germans, who had gained revenge for their heartbreaking last-gasp defeat in the 1999 final.
"In the group stages we won the games that mattered and so we progressed to the quarter-finals," said Ferguson.
"We deserved to be in the quarter-finals. Now everyone is entitled to their opinion on whoever they think was the best side over the two legs.
"Some people may think we were not good enough, but I think we are as good a team as Bayern Munich without question.
"I think that we've proved that we can get through all the time and the capabilities are there. Everyone who saw this game would agree with that.
"I think the concentration went a little bit at times, but in the context of a full game of football you are going to get moments where there are lapses.
"The moments that cost you and I would have to say that it was a disappointing night for me."
