FC Basel striker Marco Streller has hit out at Manchester United, claiming that the Premier League champions showed a lack of respect during the sides' Old Trafford fixture in the Champions League.

The first meeting between the two sides provided a thrilling encounter with Basel coming from a two-goal deficit to lead 3-2 before Ashley Young made it 3-3 to secure a point for the Red Devils.

"You can never go into a game showing fear," The Mirror quotes Streller as saying. "Yes, we will show United respect, that is clear. When they took a 2-0 lead, it seemed to me they maybe didn't take us seriously enough. But we know they will take us seriously now, given the points we have taken in the group."

Man United need a draw in Switzerland to reach the final 16 of the European competition.
