Man United flaws shown in defeat to Basel as Jose Mourinho's men fall flat

It's the morning after the night before in Basel and the last of the 1,500 Manchester United fans are making their way home, sore heads and all. The team had to rush back to Basel's airport by the Rhine where France, Germany and Switzerland meet, to beat a midnight flight curfew. That meant no stopping to talk to journalists in the mixed zone.

They made the flight back to Manchester and were spared images of the joyous FC Basel team celebrating on the front pages of Thursday's Swiss newspapers.

For the second time in as many games at home, Basel have beaten United, one of the giants of football.
