UNITED 3-0 BASEL - FIVE(5) THINGS WE LEARNT AS UNITED BASHED FC BASEL

Manchester United marked their return to the UEFA Champions League with a 3-0 bashing of Swiss outfit FC Basel. Here are five things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash:


(1) DJ ASHLEY YOUNG TOPS THE CHART
Despite making his first appearance since his injury last season, dressing room DJ Young turned on the style in today's game, setting up a bus-stop in the right wing.



. The make shift right back then added 'jara' by grabbing the assist for 'Oga Fela's' opener with a CHIVITA-stic cross. Valencia, 'oya' bring pen and paper and come and copy crossing notes.

(2)PAUL 'IKENNA' POGBA INJURY
Chai!! Why? Watching Paul 'Ikenna' Pogba go off today with a hamstring injury is the DARKEST STAIN to United's brilliant season so far. We can only hope that 'Oga Fela', Old Trafford's warrior Ander 'Akinbode' Herrera and the others can be our "OMO " detergent in this trying time.


(3) 'OGA FELA' SHOWS HIS WORTH
Hate him or not, the 'Headbanger I of Old Trafford' is here to stay. Continues to show us why he is Jose 'Uchenna' Mourinho's beloved son, in whom he is well pleased.

He gave United another brand of threat when he  came on for Pogba, ultimately grabbing the first goal and playing a huge role in Marcus 'Rashidi-Yekini's' winner.ManUtdNaijaFM's man of the match.


(4) TWO 'GBOZA' FOR JOSE 'UCHENNA' MOURINHO
Again and again this season, the Portuguese tactician continues to prove his worth. The boss's substitutes proved to be the  masterstroke again, as Fellaini and Rashford grabbed 2 of United's 3 goals. 'Weh done sir'!

(5) NEW SIGNINGS IMPRESSED ON UCL DEBUTS
Victor Lindelof -  Our 'Jollof' defender gave an assured performance today, giving a glimpse of his undoubted potential, in a more familiar environment. The defender showcased his biggest strength of playing out from the back, and was also available for key defensive actions all game round.


Romelu 'Timaya' Lukaku - Bagged a goal in his first ever Champions League appearance to make it 6goals in 6 appearances in his Manchester United career. Magnificent.


Nemanja 'Agu' Matic - At this rate, he'll soon be handed a chieftancy title at United. What a player.

IN  THE  END , it was a good day for United. Fantastic performances from the lads, with special 'gboza' going to Marcus Rashidi-Yekini for continuing his scoring streak in all his debuts.
UP NEXT, EVERTON in the English Premier League.
