Match background• #EQUALGAMEThis week, football fans watching UEFA Champions League matches in stadiums, online and on TV will witness thepremiere of the new UEFA RESPECT TV ads, called #EqualGame. The adverts feature Ada Hegerberg, Lionel Messi,Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo and amateur players and will run throughout the season to promote inclusion, diversityand accessibility in European Football with the motto "Everyone has the right to enjoy football, no matter who you are,where you're from, or how you play."More information on the campaign and on the advertisements can be found in the accompanying media release andon the campaign website: www.equalgame.com.

Manchester United FC make their return to the UEFA Champions League against FC Basel 1893, who have causedthem problems in the past.

• United qualified for this season's competition by winning the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League, with last season just thesecond time in 22 years they had missed out on the UEFA Champions League.

• The three-time European champions will be looking to start Group A with a home victory against a Basel sideunbeaten on their two previous visits to Old Trafford.

Previous meetings• The teams first met in the 2002/03 second group stage, United winning the first game in Switzerland 3-1 with Ruudvan Nistelrooy scoring twice. Ole Gunnar Solskjær got United's clinching third goal after Christian Giménez had givenBasel a first-minute lead.

• Giménez was also on target in Manchester on 12 March 2003, his 14th-minute strike helping Basel to a 1-1 drawwith Gary Neville claiming United's equaliser.

• Basel earned another, crucial point at Old Trafford in the 2011/12 group stage. Two goals from Danny Welbeck (16,17) put United in charge only for Fabian Frei (58) and an Alexander Frei double (61, 76pen) to leave Basel on theverge of a famous win; however Ashley Young salvaged a draw for United in the 90th minute.

• The teams at Old Trafford on 27 September 2011 were:United: De Gea, Fábio (Nani 69), Jones, Ferdinand, Evra, Valencia, Anderson (Berbatov 82), Carrick, Giggs (Park61), Young, Welbeck.Basel: Sommer, Park, Dragović, Cabral, Steinhöfer, Zoua, G Xhaka, Abraham, F Frei (Chipperfield 77), Streller (Pak81), A Frei (T Xhaka 89).

• There would be no escape for United in Switzerland on matchday six though. Needing a point to clinch second placein the section, United fell behind to Marco Streller's ninth-minute opener and their fate was effectively sealed whenAlexander Frei made it 2-0 with six minutes to go, despite Phil Jones pulling one back in the 89th minute. The resultleft Basel second in Group C and United third.

Match backgroundManchester United• United completed a clean sweep of European trophies with victory in last season's UEFA Europa League. The winagainst AFC Ajax in Stockholm added to their European Cup triumphs in 1968, 1999 and 2008 and their 1991European Cup Winners' Cup success.

• United have already played in Europe this term, losing 2-1 to Real Madrid CF in the UEFA Super Cup in Skopje on 8August.

• That defeat by Madrid ended United's 11-match unbeaten run (W8 D3) since a 2-1 reversal at Fenerbahçe SK onmatchday four of last season's UEFA Europa League. The loss in Istanbul had been their fifth in nine Europeanmatches.

• This is United's 21st appearance in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and only four times have they failedto make the next round. Two of those eliminations have come in their last four participations however; the English clubfinished third in their section in both 2011/12 and on their last appearance in 2015/16.

• United are unbeaten in 18 European home games (W14 D4), going back to a 2-1 home loss to Real Madrid in the2012/13 UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg. The 1-1 draw with RC Celta de Vigo in last season'sUEFA Europa League semi-final second leg (2-1 aggregate) halted a six-match winning home run.

• Their four games with Basel are United's only fixtures against Swiss clubs.

Basel• Basel qualified by winning an eighth successive Swiss title in 2016/17.

• A technically skilled and physically strong midfielder, Wicky's versatility proved an asset for club and country fromthe moment he debuted for Sion aged 16. He won the Swiss Cup three times and added a league title in 1996/97before crossing the German border for Bremen.

• Wicky lifted the DFB-Pokal in his second year and made over 100 appearances for Werder before a short stint inSpain with Atlético in 2001; he swiftly returned to Germany, signing for Hamburg whom he would represent for sixseasons.

• Wicky had his first Switzerland outing in April 1996, playing once at that year's UEFA European Championship; his50th cap came just before UEFA EURO 2004 and he was a squad member at the 2006 FIFA World Cup retiring frominternational football with 75 caps the following year.

• A fan of nature and spending his free time in the Swiss mountains, Wicky had a brief period working in Thun's youthset-up in 2009/10 before making his name as a talented youth coach during three years at Servette.

• In 2013 Basel approached him to take charge of their Under-18s and he guided the club's UEFA Youth League teamin 2016/17 before stepping up to the senior side to replace Urs Fischer.
