    FT: Manchester United 0-1 Juventus. That is indeed that, Paulo Dybala's first-half goal secures the win for Juve as they take control of Group H. It was a dominant performance from the visitors who arguably should have won by more. There was to be no goal on his Old Trafford return for Cristiano Ronaldo, though he did play an important role in the winner as his cross was eventually turned in by Dybala.
  • 93'
    Almost the fairy tale ending as Ronaldo is set away by Matuidi on the counter but his effort is blocked away by Lindelof. that should be that...
  • 92'
    Costa bursts forward on the counter before changing course and heading for the corner flag. No need for anything silly at this stage, Douglas.
  • 90'
    3 minutes added on.
  • 90'
    Martial finally finds some space to launch a drive forward but his low curler form 25 yards is beyond tame and Szczesny throws his cap on it.

    Matic flicks a Mata free-kick from deep into the hands of Szczesny. Food and drink for the Pole that.
  • 84'
    Lukaku sees an effort from just inside the box deflected behind for a corner, but Rashford's ball is too long and it comes to nothing.

  • 76'
    CLOSE! Pogba tries to curly one into the far corner with his left foot from 25 yards, but his effort bounces back into play off the post. It then smashes into the face of a diving Szczesny but bounces away to safety. It could have gone anywhere!
  • 73'
    ALMOST! Ronaldo looks to have beenput in with a loevly flighted ball over the top but the pass has just too much on it and the ball runs through to a grateful David de Gea.
  • 69'
    Juve are looking more and more of a threat on the counter now as United start to throw more men forward.

    Matuidi is in the book after mistiming a lunge down the right and felling Young.
  • 56'
    A second Juventus goal looks a matter of time here.

  • 50'
    Matuidi bursts away from Young and Pogba down the right but Lindelof is there to deny Ronaldo a tap-in from six yards against his former side.

  • 45'
    HT: Manchester United 0-1 Juventus. The half-time whistle goes here at Old Trafford and Paulo Dybala's strike separates the two sides. Juventus have been by far the better team and United could have no complaints if the deficit were greater.

  • 38'
    CHANCES! Ronaldo's powerful free-kick is parried away by De Gea, before the Spaniard springs back to his feet to palm away Matuidi's follow-up. Juventus are good value for their lead here and could easily extend it by the time the break comes around.
  • 37'
    Young runs full pelt into Ronaldo as he jinks away from his challenge and the visitrs have a free-kick out on the left. Ronaldo is over it. He couln't... could he?

  • 28'
    Long balls into the channels are causing United all sorts of problems at the back as Dybala forces his side a corner.

  • 17'
    GOAL! JUVENTUS! DYBALA! 0-1! Cancelo feeds Ronaldo down in the right-hand channel and whilst Smalling prevents Cuadrado from turning home his cross at the near post, he is powerless as the ball drops to Dybala to present him with a simple finish from close range.
  • 16'
    Pogba has United's first effort on goal as he meets Juan Mata's free-kick from the right. It was a simple save for Wojciech Szczesny, but it shows intent at the very least from the hosts.
  • 13'
    Dybala spreads the ball wide for Cuadrado before busting a gut to get on the end of his cross, but the ball in is just too high and the Argentine can only flick a tame header well wide of the far post.

    A pitch invader delays the taking of this one... Juan Mata eventually sends it in but Szczesny gets up to claim it at the far post.
  • 3'
    Pjanic fells Rashford down the right and the hosts will have a chance to load the box with a dead-ball.

    Cristiano Ronaldo on his Old Trafford return: “It's a hugely emotional thing for me to come back. When the draw was made I thought about how much I enjoyed my time here, all the trophies I won and the love everyone showed me, especially Sir Alex Ferguson. I'd like to express my best wishes to him.”

    Here's how these two sides have fared recently going into this one:
  • PRVW
    Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri: "It will be two teams going against each other that have a lot of young key players. Tomorrow’s match will be an important test for them at this stage and in a game of this magnitude. They are a very physical team, and we will have to play a lot of fluidity, technique and precision. We have to put more pressure on crosses, we have to mark better in the box. These are situations where we have to improve."
  • PRVW
    Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho: "United's form was shown in the past two matches. The way we can play, and the way we want to play was shown in the last two matches, so we will try to [play that way again]. There were contradictory feelings after the Chelsea match. I told the players we have to keep that happiness, pride and confidence of the way we played. But on the other side, use the anger to motivate ourselves to play a big match."
  • PRVW
    Ronaldo leads the line for the visitors with Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado either side of him in attack. The in-form Rodrigo Bentancur could be one to watch in the middle of the park.

    MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea; Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw; Matic, Pogba; Rashford, Mata, Martial; Lukaku. Subs: Romero, Bailly, Darmian, Fred, Pereira, Ander Herrera, Chong.
