MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Jose Mourinho set the Champions League bar high for his Manchester United team after criticising them for trying to play "fantasy football" in a 3-0 win over Basel on Tuesday. Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford all scored their first Champions League goals as United eased past the Swiss side at Old Trafford. We tried to play fantasy football, tricks, and when you stop to play seriously I don't like it. But football is football, you have to respect opponents." Pogba would miss the weekend Premier League match against Everton, Mourinho confirmed, but said in Fellaini, who replaced Pogba, he has an ideal stand-in.
