Manchester United continue to roll and come into their next match against Basel with a perfect record in the Champions League.
The Red Devils are a dangerous team that seems to be hitting their stride. They have a perfect combination of talented youth and veteran presence that is making them incredibly difficult to stop.
While Basel have the pieces and players in position to compete, the fact of the matter is that they are going to struggle to even compete with this rolling United Club.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been pushing all the correct buttons so far, but he's going to have to keep his club focused and determined as they head into this matchup.
It may be easy to sleep on Basel, but counting them out completely would be foolish.
Where: Old Trafford, Manchester, England
When: Tuesday Sept. 27, at 14:45 p.m. EDT. (5 p.m. EST)
Key Injuries:
Manchester United: Javier Hernandez - leg injury; Tom Cleverly - ankle/foot injury.
Player to Watch For Basel:Alexander Frei, Forward
Frei is easily the biggest threat on the Basel side, and he should be able to push the ball and cause some trouble for the United defense. He's a prolific scorer and should be able to put one in early.

Player to Watch for Manchester United: Wayne Rooney, Striker
There is no doubt that Rooney is one of the premier football players in the world, so any time he is on the pitch he is well worth your watch. He should have no problem maneuvering around Basel's defense, so don't be surprised to see a big match out of him.
