Evening all, and welcome to Manchester United v Astana!

Thrat's more like it, Fred finding Greenwood who immediately opens his body and shoots from 20 yards. He doesn't get the draw he's after, but chose a better options than going wide for another cross to be tossed in.

Rashford clips a nice ball out to Dalot, who should cross first time, doesn't, and by the time he does Chong has no chance. United need to think about this, because they're not making the most of their decent situations.

United knock it about looking for an opening.

Astana have grown in confidence a little and win a corner which Sigurjonsson takes. It's not a bad one either, but no one attacks it and United clear.

United need to get their one-touch stuff going again. Astana are defending their box, and crosses into it are exactly what they want.

United shove everyone forwards for a corner and when Matic's header goes to Simunovic, one ball into the space and Murtazaev and Rotariu are both in. But he takes too long and when the ball finally arrives, Murtazaev's shot is tame and he's offside anyway.

United could do with getting Greenwood on the ball a bit more. He's looked good when he's had it, but that's not been very often.

Nice from Gomes again, lofting a ball out to Dalot, who controls on the stretch, spins Zidane-style to lose his man, and stands up a cross that Chong can't muscle onto.

Nemanja Matic is so slow. He runs at the Astana defence and is promptly dumped on his buttocks.

I'm not sure we're going to learn much about Tuanzebe tonight, but he makes a nice interception and threads a decent pass out to Dalot.

Lovely from Gomes, threading a no-look pass between defenders for Dalot, racing to the line; Astana see his cross away.

Chong wins a corner down the left and Gomes' delivery is good again; Tuanzebe hurls himself at it, but is penalised for a foul.

A lull, as United prompt.

Gomes shoves out to Ching, who tries to get around the back but runs out of pitch as we see Patrice Evra making a strong point to Paul Pogba in the stand.

Astana have barely had a kick here.

Rojo tries another cross, shanks it up in the air ... and it's put Rashford through! He waits for it to drop and again makes decent connection with the inside of his foot, but again it's straight at Erik. Surely United are going to score shortly.

Elsewhere in the group, AZ are 1-0 up away to Partizan.

Another swift break from United and Rojo curves in a brilliant bal. Rashford makes a decent connection on the volley too, but sends his shot wide before the flag goes up.

...and it's Gomes, who curls into the wall. United, though, don't let it lie, and win another corner ... which comes to nothing.

Gomes wins a free-kick just outside the D, left of centre, and fancies a hit himself. But so do Fred and Rashford...
