UPDATES:

FIRST HALF UPDATES:

0' KICK OFF

10' United getting no time on the ball when attacking but Arsenal are passing all around us and making us run.

10' MANCHESTER UNITED YELLOW CARD Varela mistimes a tackle on Alexis.

12' Rashford cuts inside between two Arsenal players and is fouled JUST on the edge of the box. So close to a penalty.

13' Memphis takes it low and hard and Cech does very well to hold onto the ball and not let it bounce to a United player.

22' MANCHESTER UNITED YELLOW CARD Carrick went in hard on Welbeck and gets booked for it.

30' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL AFTER A PERIOD OF PRESSURE BY UNITED, MARCUS RASHFORD SLOTS HOME A LOOSE BALL IN THE BOX! VARELA GOT THE BALL ON THE WING FROM HERRERA, SWUNG IT IN AND IT RICOCHET'S OFF AN ARSENAL DEFENDER TO RASHFORD WHO MAKES NO MISTAKE!

31' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL RASHFORD SCORES AGAIN! UNITED HAVE THE BALL ON THE EDGE OF THE SIDE OF THE BOX AND THE BALL IS DINKED IN ONTO RASHFORD'S HEAD AND HE GUIDES IT PAST CECH WITHOUT A PROBLEM!

39' ARSENAL GOAL It would have to be him again. Welbeck gets his head onto an Ozil free kick and guides it past De Gea into the bottom corner.

45' TWO ADDED MINUTES

45+2' HALF TIME

45' SECOND HALF KICK OFF

45' The second half kicks off with United attacking the Stretford End.

46' Rashford is down holding his groin but hopefully it's a knock rather than a pull.

48' He's up and running again so he should be fine.

54' Rojo is down and injured from a hard Welbeck tackle.

54' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Fosu-Mensah ON || Rojo OFF

55' Rojo can't continue...

62' ARSENAL SUBSTITUTION Giroud ON || Walcott OFF

64' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL ANDER HERRERA SCORES! VARELA COUNTERS QUICKLY WITH A PASS TO MATA. MATA DASHES INTO THE ARSENAL HALF BEFORE SLIPPING A GOOD PASS TO RASHFORD WHO RUNS INTO THE BOX, HOLDS IT UP AND THEN LAYS THE BALL OFF TO THE ON-RUSHING HERRERA WHO MAKES NO MISTAKE FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX! BRILLIANT.

67' United are playing good football. Fosu-Mensah counters and spreads the ball to Memphis but his one-two with Rashford comes to little.

68' ARSENAL GOAL Arsenal swing the ball into the box and it's deflected and bobbles around the box. De Gea saves the first shot from Welbeck but he can't do anything about Ozil's follow-up.

69' ARSENAL SUBSTITUTION Elneny ON || Coquelin OFF

70' ARSENAL YELLOW CARD The referee spends an age thinking about the decision as Ramsey lashes out and shoves Herrera over after a late tackle. Only a yellow though.

72' MANCHESTER UNITED YELLOW CARD Herrera goes into the book.

73' ARSENAL YELLOW CARD The game is heating up as Elneny goes into the book.

76' Rashford is slowing and may be injured. He'll be off soon.

79' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Januzaj ON || Rashford OFF

82' ARSENAL SUBSTITUTION Iwobi ON || Welbeck OFF

82' Welbeck left the field to mixed applause and boos, if you were curious.

90' FIVE MINUTES ADDED

90' Arsenal have FIVE minutes and are attacking with pace and purpose.

92' ARSENAL YELLOW CARD Ozil gets a bit excited and barges Varela into the advertising boards.

94' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Weir ON || Herrera OFF

95' FULL TIME!
