FIRST HALF UPDATES:

0' KICK OFF

0' Chelsea kick off in blue, United in red!

5' A cagey start to the match with both teams not looking to push too hard. Luiz made an early mistake with that Rashford almost pounced on but he dragged his shot wide.

7' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL RASHFORD SCORES! Herrera intercepts in our half and turns before surging forward into the Chelsea half and feeding Rashford through with a wonderful through ball! Rashford beats Luiz for pace before calmly slotting past Begovic! United lead early!

12' Bailly goes down injured after Costa pushes him into the post. It's unnecessary and Costa is clearly trying to get under our skins. Lucky to escape without a booking..

14' Costa dives on the wing and earns his team a free kick but United manage to deal with it and clear.

15' Rashford is inches away from Ashley Young's cross from the left and he would've had an easy tap in had he made contact. United looking dangerous.

20' Chelsea have had enough possession and have been coming forward but they haven't been looking too threatening whereas United are on the front foot. We haven't tested Begovic since the goal though. Rashford to take a free kick now though..

21' Nothing comes from the free kick but Chelsea counter with pace and numbers. United manage to get back and make the tackle.
