Ibra sets new record

Zlatan Ibrahimovic set yet another record after playing for Manchester United against Basel on Wednesday night.

The Swede superstar appeared for his seventh club in the Champions League, more than any other player.

Zlatan has players for Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan, PSG and United in Europe’s top club competition.

But he has failed to win the prestigious trophy during his career — something he will hope to change with United this season.

Ibrahimovic could not help Jose Mourinho’s men secure their progression to the knockout stage as United fell 1-0 to Basel.

Michael Lang netted in the 89th minute to earn the Swiss club the three points in the Group A clash.

United remain top with 12 points with Basel and CSKA Moscow joint-second with nine.

They face CSKA on December 5 — although they will only fail to reach the next round if the Russian side beat them by seven clear goals at Old Trafford.

With Brighton waiting at the weekend, Mourinho wasted no time getting his squad back to England.

The United stars looked glum as they landed at Manchester Airport in the early hours — apart from a smiling Paul Pogba.
