FC Basel earned all three points against Manchester United on Wednesday night when both sides clashed in the Champions League at Switzerland. Micheal Lang's late strike gave his side a crucial win that awakened their hopes of sailing through to the knockout stage. Although Manchester United remains favourites to finish at the top of their group, they will need to beat CSKA Moscow next month at Old Trafford when the Champions League week comes again. At Basel, Jose Mourinho's side were presented with lots of opportunities to score, but they failed to convert any into a goal. They, however, paid the price for failing to win the game as the late goal from Lang means the Old Trafford club haven't confirmed their place in the final-16. On a brighter side, … [Read more...]

Liverpool Legend Sends Thought-provoking Message To Man United Fans About Ibrahimovic
FC Basel successfully beat Manchester United last night in the Champions League at home, and the Swiss club are hopeful of finishing second in their group.

Good News – Man United Have Agreed 173,000-a-week Star Deal
Man United lost their first game in the Champions League this season against Basel on Wednesday night, although the red devils are very much likely to sail through to the knockout stage of the tournament. So, the result at Switzerland won't be one that should annoy the fans. And as far as Man United's transfers are concerned, it is obvious Jose Mourinho must sign top quality players in January to enable him to push gallantly for the premier league title in the second half of the season. Currently, the Old Trafford club are still eight points behind league leaders Manchester City who are yet to lose a single game this season so far. Apart from trying to bring in new legs next year, Jose must also hold on to some important players in his team, and ensure they … [Read more...]
Liverpool Strongest Possible 4-3-3 XI vs Chelsea
During the first half against Sevilla on Tuesday night, Liverpool were very much impressive and even dominated the La Liga club in front of their own fans. However, in the second 45 minutes, Jurgen Klopp's men carelessly allowed Sevilla score three times to share points with them before full-time. Moreno was heavily blamed by Liverpool fans after the game at Sevilla, as he was once again poor against the Spanish club. Lovren, on the other hand, remains an issue in Klopp's defense department, and we are not expecting the German boss to start both Moreno and Lovren when they face Chelsea at Anfield this Saturday. The former Sevilla defender is expected to be replaced by summer signing Andy Robertson, who has only started just three games this term. Trent … [Read more...]
