Hello there and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Manchester United's FA Cup fifth round clash with Huddersfield at John Smith's Stadium. The pre-match talking point is Paul Pogba's absence, he's missing through illness apparently after a week of speculation that the Frenchman is unhappy at the club. Can Huddersfield take advantage and seal a famous victory?

FULL TIME: Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United.
Jose Mourinho's side seal their place in the last eight of the FA Cup, courtesy of a brace from Lukaku.
United were far from their best in a strange encounter, but it matters little in the end.
VAR will once again steal the headlines, the technology used to controversially rule out Mata's goal.

Three minutes shall be added on at the end of a strange match.
88'
Williams has had a really good game for Huddersfield. He delivers a cross, finding Billing in space on the penalty spot. But instead of taking a touch he tries the spectacular and his bicycle kick sails miles wide.
87'
Steve McManaman, of BT Sport, awards Lukaku the Man of the Match award. Can't argue with that, the Belgian has been cool and composed in front of goal, bagging two goals. And his link-up play hasn't been half bad either.
85'
And the substitute Sabiri almost makes an immediate impact as he is left unmarked to meet a corner delivery but heads over from only yards out!

Lingard has Lukaku for support in the middle but his cross is played slightly behind the Belgian and the hosts clear.
I can't remember a save Lossl has had to make.

Another productive night for Sanchez, even if the Chilean hasn't been close to his best.

The game is rather petering out now as Huddersfield look tired and out of ideas.

Huddersfield continue to target the right side as they spread the ball wide to Billing. The midfielder has a pop from 25 yards, but it lacks any real conviction and Romero makes the save with ease.
Meanwhile, Martial replaces Sanchez.

Anthony Martial is preparing to come on for United.

Young drives down the channel and cuts it back for Lukaku. His first touch sets him up for a shot but it's blocked by Schindler.

Smalling has enjoyed a fine game at centre-half and now he throws himself in front of Ince's shot to deny the Huddersfield forward a goal against his old man's former club.

If Huddersfield were to register on the scoresheet then obviously it would completely change the atmosphere at the John Smith Stadium.
66'
Huddersfield have had 58 per cent of possession but United have been ruthless in attack. One more goal would completely kill off the home side's chances.
