Match preview

In the build up to the game, Mourinho has played down talk of a rift with Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

“The story is always the same. In some positions, when you don't have injuries, you have lots of options in other positions,” Mourinho said.

“In this moment, we have Pogba, Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay.

“So I can imagine, next week, you are going to ask – why is this player not playing?

“Micki is not playing because we had lots of options for that match. I decided to play Marcus Rashford and Martial together.

“For many weeks, the question was – why do they not play together? Now, the question is why is Micki not playing.

“The answer is very simple – until the international board change the rules, I can only start with 11!”

84' - United's substitutes have made very little difference so far. This really has been a game of two halves.

Post-match quotes from Daley Blind

"The second half was up and down. They created the possibility to score. Gave a good cross and he (Lang) got round the back and I was a little too late

"We have enough confidence in the group so we will be alright. First half we played good, second half was not so good. We have to keep on training like we do every day."

Post-match reaction from Jose Mourinho

His analysis of the match: "We lost because in the first half we should be 5-0 up and we couldn't score after being so dominant. It looked like for many periods of the first half that it was impossible not to win.

"When you lose so many chances, you put yourselves in this situation. In the second half the feeling of everybody would be, 'OK [we'll take] 0-0', but then they scored a goal in the last minute."

On the manner of Basel's winning goal: "I'm too far away to see but I saw the low cross and their right wing-back appeared behind Daley Blind. I can't see what happened on the opposite side."

On Daley Blind blaming himself for the goal: "I don't think it's fair for him to blame himself because he had a positive game. We have to blame everybody that was on the pitch because we lost so many chances that we put ourselves in this situation. It is always a risky situation when you miss so many chances."
