- Basel need to win on Wednesday night in order to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages, while a draw will suffice for Manchester United.
- Manchester United are unbeaten in the three previous meetings between the sides, winning once and drawing twice.

- Manchester United have reached the Champions League final in three of the last four years, and currently sit top of the Uefa club coefficient rankings.
- Basel are currently on a run of nine straight victories in domestic competitions, and have only lost three of their 25 matches in all competitions this season.
- Manchester United have only lost one of their last 25 away matches in the Champions League.
- Both teams have scored in each of the three previous meetings between the sides.
- Basel keeper Yann Sommer and Manchester United stopper David de Gea faced each other in last summer’s European Under-21 Championship final, with De Gea’s Spain triumphing 2-0 over Sommer’s Switzerland.
