18'
Gomes wins a free-kick just outside the D, left of centre, and fancies a hit himself. But so do Fred and Rashford...
17'
Jones dives in on Murtazayev with no hope of winning the ball and his man galumphs towards the box. But Jones does well to get back and avert his own danger.

Lovely from united again, Dalot into Rashford who, on the edge of the box, right-hand side, flicks beautifully into Greenwood's path. he takes a touch to get it out of his feet, then pings one towards the far post that doesn't quite curl when it needs to. Lovely connection, though.
15'
Robbie Savage's lad is at United, so he's seen a lot of Greenwood, and is now raving about how good he is and how age-group football is too easy for him. That's a problem these days - for years, reserve-team football was played by those not starting in the first XI and those coming back from injury, but now it's kids.

Is that a save or a miss! Gomes sticks a decent corner into the middle and Tuanzebe reaches for it, diverting the ball into Rashford's path! Ye've gottae score! But he drives low into Erik's legs! In fairness, it came at him fast, but he shouldn't be missing from there, there being four yards out.
12'
Rojo gets on the ball deep inside the Astana half and wins a corner when his cross is blocked behind.
11'
Rojo carves an excellent long ball in behind for Rashford, who's pulled his man away then spun in behind, but he can't quite bring it down.
9'
Tuanzebe, looking for Dalot high up the pitch, gives it away to Shomko who bursts forward, but Sigurjohnsson runs offside.
8'
Steve Bower, commentating, insists on calling Rojo "Roehoe."
7'
Apologies, my system crashed, but Chong just tested Erik. This has been an impressive start from United.

Lovely from United, a one-touch one-two across the face of the box between Gomes and Rashford allows the latter to tee up Fred, who unleashes a rasper from 25 yards that clatters the top of the bar! That was very good.
2'
Nice from Dalot, into Greenwood who takes it well then wins a throw. He does not want for confidence.
1'
A first-time pass from Rojo finds Gomes and his touch is nice, but he's quickly crowded out.

Off we go!

Old Trafford isn't full by any means, but there's a pretty decent crowd in, and a decent racket emanating from the singing section.
19:57
Here they come!
19:56
The players are tunnelled.

Michael Owen is coming into the BT studio. Oh goodo! Chauette!

Arsenal have won 3-0. Eintracht had a lot of chances, but it's not really about that - they can't defend and everyone knows it, they'll get out of this group and everyone knows it. But what was good about this was how well their young attackers did. If one of them makes it, that's a result, but Saka, Smith-Rowe and Willock all have potential.
