12 mins: Mata curls it around the wall, but Kurl makes the sort of save you’d expect to see in the pre-match warm-up.

11 mins: Darmian darts in from the right and runs at goal, but is rather emphatically legged up by Perez. Chance around 25 yards out for either Mata or Depay here.

9 mins: McClaren has started the game in the stands, rather than the dugout. Not sure if he’s got his big phone down to the touchline yet, though.

7 mins: Nice play from United, as Depay, Mata and Rooney combine rather neatly on the left, but Coloccini nips in to intercept as the ball nearly finds the Spaniard with a shooting chance.
 

Natumai herera ataingia baada ya Januzaj
 

Uzuri Mungu amempa kila binadamu haki ya kuota....

Njozi njema
 
35 mins: Romero almost gets himself into a terrific tizzy after he dashes out to the left of the box to try and take the ball away from Obertan, but the former Old Trafford hero gets there first and Romero is only spared some pretty blushy blushes by an offside flag.
 
37 mins: Darmian makes a nice run down the right and whips over a cross, but it’s just too high for Rooney in the middle. Januzaj, however, is down and looks hurt.

Meanwhile, the Guardian’s Ian McCourt can get effed: “Hi Nick, just in case you are wondering while doing your MBM, outside the sun is shining hard and I am about to hit up London Fields to drink some cold beers.”
 
39 mins: Haidara dashes down the left to try and create some panic and chaos, but can only win a corner after Blind slices a clearance out of play.

41 mins: Mbemba slides a ball through for Wijnaldum but he’s muscled out by Smalling. The ball falls to Perez who shoots low across goal, it goes wide for a goal kick, but ho! What’s this? The referee seems to think Romero tipped that round the post, when he did no such thing. Can Newcastle capitalise on this gift corner?

45 mins: United counter at a fair lick down the left, and for a moment they’re three-on-three. The ball is cut back to an advancing Depay on the edge of the area, but a combination of Dutch dithering and decisive defence from Coloccini means the chances goes the way of the wind.
