Evening all, and welcome to Manchester United v Astana!

United ought to have won by a few but will be happy enough with the points, given how they came about. Mason Greenwood will be too good not to be in the first team very soon, if he isn't already.

Full-time: Manchester United 1-0 Astana

There'll be two added minutes and Rukavina crosses into the box, but Tuanzebe does really well to slide in and bang away.

Nice from United, Greenwood breaking with Mata, Rashford and Lingard around him. He picks Lingard, who has to swivel into a shot, which Erik blocks. He's had a really good game.

Rashford's pace forces a corner out of Tomasevic, and before it can be taken, Fred is booked for an earlier foul as Sigurjonsson tried to counter.

I think Rashford is now on the right, Lingard in the middle and Greenwood on the left.

Final change for Astana: Mubele replaces Rotariu.

Dalot chucks a lollipop at Tomasov and dashes outside him but his cross beats Lingard. Lingard, though retrieves the ball and punishes a drive towards the near post ... Erik shoves it against the post, and Dalot can't control his follow-up with the goal gaping.

Young replaces Rojo. United take the free-kick short and build once more.

United press for a second, Tuanzebe stepping forward and earning a free-kick from Janga.

Rojo has time outside the box so cuts across a screecher; it's going just wide but Erik wasn't to know and he dives to flick away. The ref, though, awards a goalkick.

Like Marcus Raashford, Greenwood opened his account in the Europa League. The club are surer he's got the necessary than they were about Rashford.

Elsewhere, Wolves' miserable start to the season continues: they're 0-1 down to Braga.

GOAL! INTRODUCING MASON GREENWOOD! Manchester United 1-0 Astana (Greenwood) United move it from right to left, Greenwood pulling over, swaying left, then, when Rotariu is unbalanced, dipping outside him and sliding an expert's finish under Eirk. He knows something, and he's 17!

Again, the ball drops to Fred outside the box, and again he eschews the shot because it's on his right foot. I'm not having that a professional can't practise to be better than that.

Astana are starting to threaten on the counter, Rotariu pumping over a cross that jones misses. Tomasov gathers, can make nothing of it.

Ch ch changes: Chong, who's had a difficult night, is replaced by Lingard, while Mata replaces Gomes. I'd have liked to see a bit more of him.

Partizan, who were trailing, now lead AZ 2-1.
