UPDATES:

FIRST HALF UPDATES:

0' The teams are out. United kick off in red, Watford in yellow.

5' United with a good start so far but the only shot of the game has come from a Smalling header from a United free kick but it was wide of the mark.

10' WATFORD COME CLOSE! Watford swing a free kick in deep and Prodl gets on the end of it unmarked at the back post and his header across goal is inches away from Deeney who was trying to tap it in as it came back across goal.

12' What a shitshow! There's a high lofted ball from deep that De Gea and Smalling both attempt to go for and it's spilt to Ighalo but his shot at an open goal is wide.

16' De Gea is forced into a spectacular save! Janmaat swings in a very good ball and Deeney beats Valencia with ease but his powerful header is saved well by De Gea. We really need to get our shit together.

20' United calm play down a bit and the latest attack ends in a Rashford cross that's straight into Gomes' hands.

21' United counter quickly and Rashford again is causing problems with his low cross to the far post resulting in Ibra hitting the side-netting.

26' Martial is down after he goes up and heads Janmaat's head. He's currently getting medical attention and he might need to be substituted. Janmaat is also down and receiving attention.

30' POGBA SMACKS THE CROSSBAR! He picked the ball up about 25 yards out, took a touch and then whacked it against the bar with such power that it came back out of the box to the edge of the D.

33' WATFORD GOAL Martial's tackled hard at the left back position as he tried to dribble the ball out of danger but the ball is then played to the edge of the box by Janmaat and Capoue smacks the ball home.

36' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Young ON || Martial OFF

37' Martial could not continue after both the collision with Janmaat and the tackle that led to the goal.

39' Shaw surges into the box and beats his man but his shot t goal is blocked behind for a corner.

43' Ibrahimovic has been through multiple times now from various mistakes in the Watford defence but he hasn't been able to make the most of his chances.

44' Holebas takes a free kick that curls around the wall but De Gea gathers well even after seeing it late.

45' FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME

45+4' HALF TIME

SECOND HALF UPDATES

45' Second half kick off!

50' WATFORD SUBSTITUTION Amrabat ON || Janmaat OFF

55' All Watford for these first few minutes of the half but United trying to get back into. Nothing doing, though.

60' United can't string together more than a few passes and our attacks have been stagnant.

61' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Mata ON || Valencia OFF

61' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL RASHFORD SCORES! IBRAHIMOVIC SURGES FORWARD FROM MIDFIELD BEFORE PLAYING A ONE-TWO WITH RASHFORD WHOSE INITIAL HEADER IS BLOCKED BUT HE POUNCES ON THE REBOUND TO SLOT PAST GOMES!
