UEFA Champions League Player Ratings: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 vs Manchester United – Manchester United
Manchester United went up against FC Basel in a game that was a must win for the Red Devils. Despite the team seemingly being in top form, they went on to produce a horrendous performance in the game and went on to lose by two goals to one.
However, due to the result of the game, United were knocked out of the Champions League and were now set to participate in the Europa League instead.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463: The keeper went on to offer a poor clearance which resulted in the opening goal of the game, but was rather decent apart from that. He made a brilliant save for a free kick, but could have done better to prevent the second goal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231: The United full back had one of his worst games for the team. He was turned inside out by the Basel attackers and seemed to be more than just lacking in the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903: Managed to score the only goal of the game for United, but really couldn’t do much to enforce his name in the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173: The centre back managed to mark the Basel forwards for most of the game and went on to make a few crucial interceptions in the game as well.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling: Was easily one of the most lively United players on the pitch. Made a number of good tackles, but just like the rest of the team, he couldn’t keep up with the pace of the Basel attackers.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550: The captain had a tough fight early on in the game, but went on to see his night end on a low as he was stretchered off the pitch and is now set to be missing in action for quite some time.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985: The veteran had a decent game, but was just off the pace to really make any impact.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Park-Ji-Sung-c29147: The midfielder busted his socks in the game and was pretty much everywhere at all times. However, that didn’t prove to be enough as he failed to create any real goal scoring opportunities for the team.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299: The Portuguese forward was United’s best player on the pitch, but despite all his creativity, he couldn’t help the team take all three points from the game.
Ashley Young: The winger seems to have lost his touch in recent weeks and needs to pick himself up, before he starts declining at a steady pace.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736: Couldn’t score in the game and seemed to be one of the most frustrated players on the pitch during the game.
