Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United v Valencia - kick-off is at 7.45pm UK time, we'll have all the build-up and latest team news from 6.45pm onwards.

Nani delivers but Guaitan rather generously awarded a free-kick, Smalling breathing on him.

Nani and Rooney over the free-kick to the left of the D... Rooney takes, it clips the wall and spins wide for a corner.

UNITED SUB: Before the free kick they take Ferdinand off for Smalling, perhaps with the weekend game with Arsenal in mind. He seems to have a knock.

Low cross from Fabio knocked clear by Costa. Now Carrick back in, Anderson with a lovely turn and Albelda trips him. Free-kick on the edge of the box, United are cranking it up.

Nani slips on the right but gets up in time to put in a decent cross that Guaitan intercepts.

United have started this second half in the right way. I wonder what Sir Alex said at the break?

The corner drifts wide to Rooney, who clips in a nice cross and BERBATOV but he nods the header just wide! Difficult opportunity, he made the right deicision but could not get enough power on it.

Bright from United as Rooney and Nani combine before Guaitain parries away from Berbatov's flick. Now Costa with a poor defensive header beyond the keeper and wide for a corner.

Second half underway.

There's the break, Valencia lead - somehow. Michael Carrick looks sheepish as he strolls off.

Poor corner, low into the middle and hooked clear. Dominguez can free Pablo but Ferdinand intercepts with his heel and coolly slides it back to Amos in one movement.

Rooney spins Nani wide right, great pace to skin Mathieu but Alba gets back to block the cross. Corner. One minute added time to be played.

Ew. Anderson gets the first booking of the night for a very late and totally pointless trip on Alba, who needs no encouragement to flail down with his arms in the air.

The crowd perks up as Rooney cuts in from the right but Dealbert and Mathieu get it away between them.

Nani with another foul out wide, Banega to swing it in but Amos easily captures the high cross.

Vidic, who lives after his earlier scare, turns neatly and passes back to Amos, who loops a high clearance away. Nani fouls Alba.

Valencia have a free-kick in the middle of the park. Albelda to take.

Howls from the crowd as Nani crosses and Anderson heads off Miguel for a corner but the ref awards a goal kick.

United have the ball back with Amos. This has probably been the best half so far in this group.

Well. United have had five brilliant chances to score but Valencia still lead as the result of an individual error. Sometimes you wonder why Carrick isn't always in the side these days but it's clear to see why Fergie can't trust him.

Nani controls a long ball on the right, he slips inside Mathieu and crosses but cleared. Now Rooney on the left, Fabio is free but he tucks inside and curls it from 25 yards AND WHAT AN EFFORT THAT BEATS GUAITA BUT OFF THE BAR AND AWAY! It drops to Nani though and he must score but he half-volleys it wide of the far post!!
