"It is not fair for Blind to blame himself. He had a very positive game. We have to blame everyone on the pitch because we had so many chances. "I don't think we need to win the final group match, we don't even need to draw, but obviously we will try to win."
FT
"We played against a team with five defenders, so we tried to play with three attacking players and that worked in first half. We didn't score in the second half. We knew one point was enough. In the end we lost but it's hard for me to be upset with the players. The first half, the attitude and football was good. It's just football. It's great for Basel - now have a good chance to qualify."
FT
"I think the second half went up and down. They created the possibility and did a good cross and he [Lang] came on my back and I was a little too late. We have enough confidence in the group, so all will be well. First half, we played good. Second half was not so good, we have to accept that. We have to work on that and keep on training hard like we do every day of the week and prepare ourselves to our utmost best. Now we have a game like this and the next game we are there again."
FT
"First of all, it is not the result that we wanted. Of course went on the pitch to win and in the first half we played every well and created a lot of chances, but we didn't score. In the end they scored a goal. We have to fight until the end now."
FT
United still lead Group A, but they have work to do in the final game against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford if they want to go through as group winners.
United must wait to progress to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, after suffering a undeserved 1-0 defeat at FC Basel in Switzerland after an 89th minute goal from Michael Lang. The Reds absolutely dominated the tie on the continent from start to finish, both in terms of possession and chances creating, striking the woodwork on two occasions in the first half. Jose Mourinho’s men must now secure a positive result from the final group game against CSKA Moscow in order to progress, hopefully as group winners to secure an ‘easier’ tie in the last 16. Three big positives from the night were unquestionably the performances of Marcos Rojo and Paul Pogba, as well as Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s second appearance of the season from the bench.

That's full-time here in Switzerland, where United have gone down 1-0 to a late Basel goal from Michael Lang. It's a disappointing night for the Reds, after they dominated the game for long periods. Basel improved in the second half, but United had plenty of chances to get on the scoresheet.
90 MINS
A bitter blow for United in the closing stages, as the Basel man appears at the back post to slot home into the bottom corner.
88 MINS
Encouraging work between Lukaku and Ibrahimovic. The Belgian heads down and Zlatan fires a speculative shot towards goal. The connection is good but it flies high of the Basel goal.
84 MINS
Basel win a free-kick on the left-hand side, after a late Matteo Darmian tackle. The Italian will see yellow for that. But United get the ball to safety.
80 MINS
Ten minutes remain here at St. Jakob-Park. A point will be enough to see United seal qualification and top Group A, but Basel are growing in confidence as the game heads into its final stages.

Fransson replaces the threatening Serey Die, who looks to have injured his hamstring.

Fellaini heads clear.

Make that 23. Sergio Romero dives acrobatically to his left to deny Serey Die's pummelled 25-yard drive. Corner to Basel...
75 MINS
It's amazing that we're still goalless here in Switzerland. There have been 22 attempts on goal between the two sides! There are just under 15 minutes left for that to change...
