and welcome everyone to england's north west the action soon david de gea begins in goal
harry maguire plays with rafael varan at the back jesse lingard plays with jaden
sancho out wide and the main striker today is edinson cavani the uruguayan
and let's have a look at the starting eleven for leipzig peter gulacci is the goalkeeper of choice
marcel zabizza place alongside kevin campbell
in central midfield and they line up with just the one striker looking to do a bit of damage
manchester united get the ball rolling
jaden sancho bruno finance paul pogba oh that's an interesting pass
and a throw in it's going to be
against the crossbar
well they were so close to taking the lead weren't they they just have to keep
creating scoring opportunities and surely the goal will come
he's a player who just seems to get better and better i'm talking of course about
bruno finance lee what do you think we'll see from him in this game and he's made headway
playing advantage here united keep it
sancho luna fernandez
jaden sancho luna fernandez has it sancho
able to close down the shorts
forsberg
marcel
real danger passing it around looking for the goal that would put them ahead
it might be a favorable situation this for manchester united
and a fine cross well cluttered away
bruno fernandez cavani
now pogba jesse vanguard's in here wonderful block and this situation could be dangerous blocks again
and options in the center paul pogba cavani is it going to be what's an important piece of defending
danny almo
kevin campbell amadou haidara the attack continues they're making considerable progress
well united have been very much in control over the last 15 minutes derrick their plate can he put
them ahead oh that's a fine save united looking to forge ahead let's see if the corner helps them
well the fans haven't had much to cheer about have they but a goal here would be huge
so the corner played into the box
oh my goodness he's got that so well a goal of the highest class fantastic technique
well here's the replay and it's a dangerous set piece into the box there's still a lot of
work to be done but the keeper presents the near post on a plate and he's punished that's quite
remarkable
so they're playing again it's manchester united with the lead he acted number 28 paul pogba
now with orban kevin campbell
danny olmo with it
it's opening up for them opportunity and it goal to level this contest
uneven
well as we see again here this really is patient accurate incisive passing at his best
and he chooses to use power in the finish not much chance for the keeper when he's hit that hard
well he's furious and why not they've thrown this lead away so a level contest 1-1
kevin campbell and the fourth official confirming that we'll have one additional minute
and that will do it for the first half here at the theater of dreams well this
man will get most of the plaudits for his contribution up to this point lee well
there's never a bad time to score a goal but just before half time can be crucial
and he's got his team back in this game what can he produce in the second half
as anticipated plenty of talking points so far and now the second half is underway
haidara now with orban
kevin campbell closer man
kunku has it
oh and a perfect ball now how about this
paul pogba and lingard cavani and nicely struck and the keeper taking care of the situation
well as you can see derek they're creating plenty of chances but just unable to make
it count they haven't been clinical enough surely though it's just a matter of time before
they find the breakthrough can they forge ahead denied by the bar back in play here
closer man hulstenberg has it half an hour remaining then
kevin campbell
take it away
jaden sancho and space for him to cut in
tremendous ball played through and there is the goal to reestablish their advantage
well as we see again here the damage is started with a beauty of a through ball
and he had choices of what type of finish to apply and bang he goes for the smash lovely
goal
well two one it is here goal for manchester united number seven edinson cavani
well he keeps going
danny olmo
carrying out his defensive duties following the cross jayden sancho
lingard
well a judgment call for the referee many an official would have cautioned
him
the free kick from distance just off target well i wasn't expecting that
i'm pretty sure the goalkeeper wasn't as well it was close
and it's united's turn now cavani intelligent threaded pass here
what about the opportunity from earlier let's have another look now shall we
and on the second half the signs are positive they can't relax lee but they ought to be pleased well
with a narrow lead and the clock ticking it's so easy for the united players to lose concentration
asking the referee how long to go looking over at the bench staying focused is a skill
tyler adams
inside the final five minutes now how far from the ideal pass you've got to say
cavani chances on well they can say a big thank you to the goalkeeper that was
inspirational well that's as good as a goal at the other end brilliant save from the keeper
substitution time as is
corner kick played in very comfortable piece of defending
danger averted for now but it'll be another corner well the header but a comfortable save
for the goalkeeper yeah he has to do better than that i could have saved that derrick
and there it is the final whistle it's a manchester united victory
the fans will be happy about that lee well it was tight wasn't it
just done enough in the end i suppose to deserve the win tactically a really good game derek
serving his team well in typical fashion lee how would you sum up his performance
well what a great performance today from the lad my pick for man of
the match he was all over the place very good technically drove his team
