So, thanks for your company - night.

Good enough for United, who played some decent stuff in patches and were far too good for Basel. They go to Moscow next, where they'll find a far stiffer challenge.

Full-time: Manchester United 3-0 Basel
90+1'
It's not been much of a half, but United will be satisfied with their evening's work. Fellaini has stood in brilliantly for Pogba, Martial and Mkhitaryan looked sharp, Lukaku and Rashford both scored on their Champions League debuts. They've also kept a clean sheet, though that's got as much to do with Basel as it does decent defending.

There shall be two added minutes.

Silly.

Worth noting that last season, Zlatan scored 28 and next was Rashford with 11. Already this season, Likaku has five, Rashford has three, and Fellaini, Martial and Pogba all have two.

GOAL! Manchester United 3-0 Basel (Rashford) What a ridiculous child Marcus Rashford is. Lingard moves down the right and finds Lukaku inside him; he slips ahead for Fellaini, the best player on the pitch tonight. Fellaini hits the line(!), crosses, and the ball misses Mkhitaryan and Suchy before Rashford, opening his body, sidefoots into the ground and high into the net for yet an other debut goal.

Rashford turns a pass inside for Mkhitaryan, who skates through the centre-circle; Xhaka has no choice but to pull him down, for which he's booked.

At Celtic, a fan ran onto the pitch and tried to kick Kylian Mbappe. He missed.

Straight away, Rashford stretches his legs down the left and moves into the middle. he's got options, but can't use any because Akanji hacks him down. Free-kick, just left of centre, 30 yards out ... and Rashford skews it high and wide, Ronaldo-style.

Change apiece: Oberlin for Riveros and Rashford for Mata
76'
Young makes ground down the right, beating Riveros and Balanta, who pulls him down. Free-kick United, close to the touchline and level with the edge of the box - Mata curls into Vaclik's arms.

Chelsea, by the way, lead Qarabag 5-0.

CSKA now lead Benfica 2-1

I do wonder why it was Martial hooked and not Mata or Mkhitaryan. Perhaps it's because he'll be starting at the weekend, because he was looking dangerous. But I doubt it.

We're chugging a bit here, so let's note that Messi has scored two beauties, just brilliant finisher's goals; Barca lead Juve 3-0.
70'
If I were Mourinho, which I'm not, I'd get Rashford on for Mata forthwith.

Martial, who's looked good when he's had the ball, departs; Lingard replaces him, post-handshake of course.
