and welcome everyone to england's north west the action soon to get underway and here's the lineup
for manchester united rafael baran plays alongside harry maguire in central defence marcus rashford
starts with jaden sancho out wide and potentially a real handful in attack today edinson cavani
and this is the arsenal starting eleven nato gets the nord in goal thomas posse starts with
granit xhaka in the center of the pitch and leading the attack today is pierre emerick
aubameyang
an absorbing matching prospects manchester united get the ball rolling
maguire
luna fernand has it jaden sancho and in some giovanni now
decent position this for united to find themselves in
mctominay here's juan bisaka scott mctominay jaden sancho
cavani and smart defending
scott mctominay sancho now oh he's gone for goal and tipping it over the crossbar
corner awarded to manchester united
played into the center of the box oh a truly magnificent piece of goalkeeping there well it
is his job derek keep the ball out the net but i'll give you it was a good save good challenge
well the man you fans can sense the momentum is with them here can they make the pressure count
well he's lost the ball
using all his defensive acumen to cut it out
today
are having trouble keeping the ball potentially freedom for united on the flank
cross towards marcus rashford at the back post
cavani pogba has it well they're sitting ever deeper
oh a tremendous block sancho has eyes for goal and there's the goal and it's not as though we didn't
predict it well if you spend most of the game in and around your own box this is bound to happen
they need to try and get at least 30 to 40 yards further up the pitch
well here it is again and all the credit goes to the goal scorer but you have to ask questions
about the keeper he's got to have that covered for me no wonder he's frustrated with himself
well just look at the reactions on the touchline they just need
to keep their composure now this is far from over
so back underway in this game manchester united with the advantage
martin erdogan thomas now with aubameyang
it looks promising on a crucial intervention inside the box
the pressure was on varane cavani
rafael varan sancho marcus rashford in position and up for grabs nonsense clearance
paul pogba bruno
here they need to get bodies back well the attack lacks a little bit of
oomph
and across the touchline so a throw in here
martine erdogan arsenal could be on to something he could pick out a teammate bayern
it's with erdogan
and that will do it for the first half here at the theater of dreams
well that's often the case jaden sancho so difficult to contain in the first half
lee your thoughts on his performance well derek he certainly was a good 45 minutes from the lad
obviously got the goal to give him the lead but he's looked very very lively as well
back underway with arsenal trying to find a route back into the match
scott mctominay sancho now with mctominay shaw luna finance here's luke shaw maguire rafael varan
every pass hitting its target luna finance pogba rashford you dealt with that ball
played in rather well and you don't want to lose possession there jaden sancho
here's cavani an attempt like that never likely to
trouble the keeper no he's got positioning right but it was a poor shot in the end
rashford getting forward failed to keep hold of it
gabrielle
it's with erdogan granit xhaka
you can sense the threat just there and clears his lines
scott mctominay well the counter chance looks very real
a terrific pass he just needs to stay level-headed though
and it goes at the second time of asking and the keeper feels hung out to dry
well as we see there'll be an inquest between keeper and defenders he'll be
saying where were you they'll be saying why didn't you catch it
let's have another view of that goal it's going their way two-nil
well it's come down to the final 20 minutes here
united enjoying the bulk of possession here and what that does it just relaxes the team
if you've got the ball you enjoy the ball and they're turning it into goals as well
rafael varan harry maguire now
marcus rashford prepared to take on the shots
and the keeper making sure that there were no scraps to feed on for the attackers
david luiz
only 10 minutes remaining here
on and on he goes
and he's keen on cutting in this looks promising
it's a good looking ball in behind and up for grabs off the keeper
but it looks so threatening but the danger averted
maguire
luna fernand has it if you're wondering about stoppage time one minute to be added on
and fed forwards edinson cavani in space
he's gone and found the net brilliant piece of finishing magnificent goal
well here's the replay and it all starts with the delivery into the box just
begging for someone to get on the end of it and the finish
i can't tell you how hard that technique is it's an absolute cracker
and the referee blows for full-time positives for manchester united
three points picked up lee while being potent up front gives you a great chance in any game
and there was certainly that today sharp clinical and exciting to watch for sure
and for many people edinson cavani is the complete striker lee what did you
make of his performance of this game well that was a really really good performance
from the lad and a goal to boot really delighted with that goal i'm sure he is
