Match report in news

  • 95'
    It's all over! Man Utd hold out for a win they just about deserved, and defended doggedly at the end. Watford's perfect start to the season is over, but they will be proud with the desire they showed in the game to try and get that elusive second.
  • 93'
    Matic is given his second yellow card for a cynical foul on Will Hughes.
  • 92'
    Bailly comes on for Valencia, who walks off extremely slowly, of course.
  • 90'
    Three minutes of added time.
  • 89'
    Doucoure has an effort from range, but it's an easy save for De Gea.
  • 87'
    Catcart is off and Success comes on. They're going for it now.
  • 83'
    McTominay comes on for Sanchez.
  • 82'
    Patient play from the hosts as they try to get back in it, but United are defending well.
  • 77'
    It's wonderful defending from Cathcart, who gets back at just the right time to slide in and deny Sanchez who was in on goal. Great challenge from the centre-half.
  • 75'
    Watford will still fell they can knick a point, but United are having the best chances in the attacking third at the moment.
  • 70'
    Janmaat makes way for Kika.
  • 70'
    Lingard is replaced by Martial.
  • 64'
    GOAL!!!! What a strike from Gray! The ball comes in from the left flank, with the striker waiting on the edge of the box. He strikes it first time and De Gea has no chance as it flies in to the top corner. Game on!
  • 61'
    Kabisele goes close from a corner, but De GEa and Smalling scramble it away between them.
  • 55'
    Valencia fouls Pereyra in a dangerous area.
  • 50'
    Pogba has a shot from range, but it's wild and is nowhere near testing Foster.
  • 46'
    Watford get us started again.
  • 45'
    That's the end of the first half! Watford won't be happy at conceding two goals from set-pieces, and are lucky to be still in the game thanks to the heroics of Ben Foster. United haven't been great for much of it, but have been clinical when t counted.
  • 45'
    GREAT SAVE AGAIN! Wonderfully worked move from United, as ingard floats a ball to the back post where Pogba is waiting to volley it in, but he is denied by an excellent reaction save from Foster.
  • 45'
    Two minutes added time.

Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester United en el 38'
  • 38'
    GREAT GOAL!!! Fellaini heads down a corner to Chris Smalling, who chests it down and volleys it in impressively. That's a good finish for a striker, it's incredible from a centre-back!
  • 34'
    GOAL!!!! Lukaku again! The ball is fizzed in from Young and takes a defelction on its way. Lukaku finds himself unmarked in front of goal and it comes off his stomach to go past a diving Ben Foster.
  • 30'
    Sanchez almost scores an excellent solo goal, but his shot is excellently saved by Foster.
  • 29'
    It's become a bit more of a scrappy affair now, neither team can keep the ball for prolongued periods it seems.

    GREAT SAVE! De Gea shows why he's one of the best around, with a nice stop to deny Deeney from a shot from the edge of the box.

    Shot from range from Pail Pogba, but it's straight at Ben Foster who does well to not spil it in to the path of Lukaku.

    The Man Utd squad are looking focused! Time will tell if they're focused enough.
  • PRVW
    Watford name an unchanged side for the fifth game in a row. If it ain't broke, don't fix it as they say...
  • PRVW
    It's a big day for Paul Pogba!
  • PRVW
    Despite some speculating he would be clear to paly today, full-back Luke Shaw is not in the Man Utd squad after sustaining a nasty concussion against Spain on international duty last week.
  • PRVW
    Man Utd will look as follows: De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Young; Pogba, Matic, Fellaini; Lingard, Lukaku, Sanchez.
  • PRVW
    Here's how the home side line up: Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes; Pereyra, Gray, Deeney.
  • PRVW
    Man Utd, on the other hand, have lost two of their opening four fixtures, both of which in embarrassing fashion against Brighton and Tottenham. Can Jose Mourinho show why he has won those three Premier League titles by inspiring his team to a win today?
  • PRVW
    Watford have won each of their four opening games, including a shock win against Tottenham and will be confident coming in to this one.
