Manchester United dealt Basel blow
Manchester United missed a chance to reach the Champions League knock-out stages with a match to spare for the first time since 2014 after a late goal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat in a pulsating Group ‘A’ clash here on Wednesday.
Basel: Manchester United missed a chance to reach the Champions League knock-out stages with a match to spare for the first time since 2014 after a late goal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat in a pulsating Group ‘A’ clash here on Wednesday.
Midfielder Michael Lang tucked in an 89th minute winner for the Swiss side after Raoul Petretta found him with a pinpoint low cross at the far post, giving United’s stand-in keeper Sergio Romero no chance.
Basel’s late triumph created a complicated scenario ahead of the last round of games but United are still almost assured of progressing. They need only to avoid defeat by more than six goals at home to CSKA Moscow to be sure of avoiding an embarrassing relegation to the second-tier Europa League, which they won last season.
United are still top of the section with 12 points from five games, three ahead of second-placed Basel and third-placed CSKA, who kept alive their hopes of reaching the last 16 with a 2-0 home win over Benfica earlier in the day.
