The Red Devils return to the top table of European football and they get things under way against a team they have struggled to beat in the past
Manchester United make their return to the Champions League after missing out last year when they take on Basel in their Group A opener on Tuesday.
Jose Mourinho's side secured their place in Europe's premier club competition by winning the Europa League and they kick things off with a home tie against a Swiss side they have shared a group with twice before.
The Red Devils have only managed to beat Basel once in four attempts and even lost to them in 2011, a defeat which saw them tumble out of the competition at the group stage, so Mourinho's men will have to pay their opponents plenty of respect.
