3 min: Stoke break forward menacingly, tapping the ball around elegantly in midfield, before Bojan whips it down the left for Arnautovic. He doesn?t realise he?s onside at first and only chases it belatedly - he might have been through on goal if he had been sharper. The attack continues, though. Arnautovic releases Shaqiri on the left with a clever backheel and his cross flashes across the face of goal. Moments later, Pieters wins a corner on the left. Nothing comes from it.
 
5 min: Bojan drops off and pops up in space in front of the United back four. He ignores Shaqiri to his right and blooters a wild effort over the bar from 25 yards. Shaqiri?s not happy and he makes his displeasure clear to Bojan. ?From his earliest days, Clapton wanted to be an old bluesman,? says Joe Pearson. ?Mission accomplished.?
 
11 min: Stoke have had 70% of the possession, but they?ve not created a clear opening yet.

8 min: With his back to goal on the left, Arnautovic decides to maverick a sharp bouncer back to his own goalkeeper, who really doesn?t want it there. The ball squirts up right in front of Jack Butland, whose first touch loops up into the air with Memphis Depay closing in. Depay jumps with the goalkeeper and wins the header, but Shawcross is on hand to clear the danger. That was almost a farcical catastrophe. United continue to attack and Herrera lines one up from 25 yards. Butland holds his low effort.
 
13 min: Stoke are still controlling the game, but United are just about keeping them at arm?s length. Johnson tries to slide Shaqiri in down the right, but it?s mopped up.
 
14 min: Shaqiri and Blind battle down the right, the Stoke winger using his stocky frame to hold off the United left-back and wriggling this way and that in an attempt to give him the slip. Eventually he?s sent flying by Ander Herrera.
 
15 min: Shaqiri whips a dangerous inswinger towards the near post, where a block almost takes it to Bojan at the far post. It eventually comes to him but he has to take a touch and move away from goal, before turning and shooting. His effort is blocked and United scramble it away.
 
18 min: After Stoke clear a United corner, Bojan runs into trouble on the right and ends up conceding a free-kick, fouling Herrera. Stoke?s fans are furious, but nothing comes from it, Depay?s cross curling through to Butland.

? United also in market for a centre-half but John Stones may be out of reach
 
Nimefurahi sanaaa...aondoke na huyo Depay wake mpumbavu. Kila akicheza lazima tufungwe kina Lingard wako nje analazimisha waholanzi wenzake..acha tupigwe.
 
GOAL! Stoke City 2-0 Manchester United (Arnautovic, 26 min)

A meeting of minds over the free-kick, Stoke?s creative players engaged in a long, tense, slightly passive-aggressive debate about who?s going to take it. Bojan and Shaqiri, who had a minor spat earlier, aren?t happy with each other again. Arnautovic moves away. Just as well. Bojan wallops his free-kick into the wall but it drops to Arnautovic 20 yards from goal. He takes a touch and before any United player can get to him, he absolutely leathers the ball into the right corner with his right foot, poor old De Gea left utterly helpless. Ryan Giggs sighs. Louis van Gaal is in big trouble.
 
Kibaya zaidi tunaye Morgan Schneidelin anasugua bench,I hope LVG atajiuzulu mwenyewe
