Jose Mourinho insists Manchester United were so dominant in the first half against Basle that it seemed 'impossible not to win' and insists they remain in a comfortable position despite the shock loss.
The Swiss side absorbed heavy pressure from the group leaders before Michael Lang secured a famous victory with a smash-and-grab strike in the 89th minute, leaving United in need of a point to guarantee qualification.
But Mourinho was defiant in defeat and claimed Manchester United deserved to be well ahead after hitting the woodwork twice in the first half and reminded critics that they are still almost certain to make the knockout stages.
