Fancies
Neville expects Rio Ferdinand to partner Nemanja Vidic in defence for the first time since the 2-0 defeat at Olympiakos in the last round, while Alex Buttner is expected to deputise for Evra at left-back.
He called on Moyes to play quick forwards who will help out at the back, but says some of Bayern's attacking players will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing United's current back four.
Moyes relishing Guardiola match-up
"You look at Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Toni Kroos," Neville added.
"Robben will be up against Buttner who's not played a lot of football. Robben has spoken this week in the press about how he fancies this game - and you can see why.
"Vidic and Ferdinand haven't played too many games together. They played away in Olympiakos and it was difficult for them.
"Can they push up the pitch? It would be difficult for Rio and Nemanja to push up and leave the space behind for Ribery and Robben.
"They are going to have to have depth in the game and probably Mercurial GS shoes counter-attack on them, which means the likes of Antonio Valencia, Danny Welbeck, Shinji Kagawa and Rooney - the people who are mobile and can get from box-to-box quickly - are the types you would want to play with the Mercurial vapor back four that United are going to have out."
