United find themselves top of their group as Benfica missed the chance to seal qualification as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Basel at the Estadio da Luz. Inter Milan are all but guaranteed top-spot in Group B after they claimed a 2-1 win over Lille at the Giuseppe Meazza. Trabzonspor and CSKA Moscow remain level on points in second and third, after they played out a goalless draw in Turkey.
