Ashley Young scored a late equaliser to rescue a point for Manchester United after Basel threatened a major shock at Old Trafford.
The United manager said that he "hoped" Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez would be fit to play come Saturday's game against Norwich City. But his problems are not in attack, they are in defence. He has played six different central defensive combinations in nine games in all competitions this season and the Jones-Ferdinand axis that found Peter Crouch such a handful at Stoke on Saturday struggled again.
Danny Welbeck's double put United in control at half-time before the Swiss side stunned their hosts with a spectacular spell of three goals in 16 minutes after the break to leave Sir Alex Ferguson's side on the brink of their first home defeat in 17 months.
