Man United draw Basel 3-3 in Champions League



United Kingdom (AFP) - Sir Alex Ferguson hinted that he may need to rein in Manchester United's rampaging attacking play after watching his side scramble a 3-3 draw with FC Basel at Old Trafford.United have produced some scintillating football in the Premier League this season, plundering a whopping 22 goals in only six matches, an average of more than three goals a game. And after 17 minutes of Tuesday's Group C encounter it looked as if United were set to lay on another goal-feast, with Danny Welbeck helping himself to a well-taken brace to put United 2-0 ahead.

Benfica dominated the game, and had several chances earlier in the first half. Axel Witsel and Cesar missed chances, while Grahovac saved from Javier Saviola in the 39th.Otelul Galati's best chance came in the last minute when Sorin Frunza's shot was punched away by goalkeeper Artur Moraes and Milan Perendija just missed scoring on the rebound.
