The Reds Strong Favourites To Win

Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United pre­pare to take on Swiss club FC Basel at Old Traf­ford in the UEFA Cham­pi­ons League this upcom­ing Tues­day even­ing. Accord­ing to Sir Alex Fer­guson, the UEFA Cham­pi­ons League is the best com­pet­i­tion in the world now and the suc­cess hungry Manchester United boss hopes that The Reds can go one bet­ter this cam­paign and win it after two Cham­pi­ons League final defeats in four seasons.

Manchester United will miss Jonny Evans, Javier Hernan­dez, Tom Clev­er­ley, Wayne Rooney, Rafael da Silva, Chris Smalling and Nemanja Vidic, while the St Jacob Park out­fit will be without Ben­jamin Huggel, Valentin Stocker, Gilles Yapi, Genseric Kusunga and Xherdan Shaqiri. Although reign­ing cham­pi­ons Manchester United ended a highly impress­ive run of five suc­cess­ive vic­tor­ies in the league at Stoke City last Sat­urday, Sir Alex Fer­guson men are firm favour­ites to beat Thor­sten Fink´s FC Basel side.
