Hello and welcome to live text commentary from the Premier League, where league leaders Manchester United welcome relegation-threatened Reading to Old Trafford.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this and every Premier League game from 00:01 on Monday.

There's the final whistle, as Manchester United go 15 points clear with nine games remaining. It wasn't a great performance, but they are in touching distance of the title.

Last chance Reading as Morrison fires in a cross from the right. Unconvincing from Smalling but eventually Vidic heads it away.

Kagawa clips a ball to Van Persie at the penalty spot - he tries a spectacular volley but fires it over.

United win a succession of throws in the corner. It's quite impressive in a way - but definitely not exciting.

Giggs goes to the corner flag and is fouled, taking a few more seconds off the clock.

Five minutes of added time to be played.

Robin van Persie clips a cross in from the right, but it does not reach Rooney at the far post.

Reading change: Sean Morrison is on for Stephen Kelly. The corner comes to nothing.

Shorey wins a corner on the Reading left... and a change coming.

Man Utd change: Kagawa comes on for Anderson.

Welbeck tees up Rooney who blazes his shot over the bar from the edge of the box.

Van Persie is felled 25 yards out - but referee Mason plays a questionable advantage and Smalling wastes it.

Good save Taylor! Van Persie plays Giggs in on the right with a deft pass, and his deflected shot is well stopped.

United win a corner on the left as the ball goes out off McAnuff.

With Aston Villa and Southampton winning today, Reading will be in real trouble if they cannot conjure an equaliser - joint bottom on 23 points.

Confusion between Ferdinand and Vidic, who enventually takes the ball out for a throw. They may have been expecting De Gea to come for it...

Rooney has moved out to the left following Young's exit, with Carrick bolstering the midfield.

Rooney tries an ambitious chip of Taylor, but it's a truly abysmal effort and it sails high over.

Van Persie crosses from the left... it's deflected high in the air and Reading clear.
