  • 90'
    GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL WATFORD!!! In the dying seconds of the match, Watford have a goal as Doucoure dances through the defences to tap it past de Gea. With just three added minutes, can the visitors squeeze a late equaliser?!
  • 87'
    Luke Shaw goes down with what looks like cramp.
  • 84'
    It's miles away from goal so they are forced to take it short. The subsequent cross is poor and it goes behind for a United goal-kick.

  • 81'
    Watford make their second change bringing Success on for Hughes.

de Manchester United en el 72'
  • 72'
    GOOOOAAAAAALLLL UNITED!!!! Well that says it all. Two minutes of possession after Watford dominated and Martial stabs home United's second! Watford will feel robbed after Foster looked to have been fouled by Martial, who was miles offside.
  • 71'
    United, for once, come flying down the right wing with Lingard positioned perfectly at the edge of the box. Rashford waited too long to release the pass giving Watford's defence time to get back. Missed opportunity...
  • 68'
    Watford really are dominating proceedings with 18 attempts on goal in comparison to United's five...
  • 68'
    Capoue finds himself with the ball at his feet in the aftermath of the free-kick but his attempt is sky high.
  • 67'
    Watford have a free-kick after Andreas Pereira handled the ball outside the area.
  • 66'
    Hughes has a go from inside the box but the shot lacked any menace and de Gea catches with ease.
  • 63'
    United make a double change bringing Mata and Hererra off and putting Jesse Lingard and Andreas Pereira on
  • 61'
    Troy Deeney is sandwiched between Phil Jones and de Gea as the goalkeeper clearly used his hand to put Deeney away by his head! Lucky the referee didn't spot that one!
  • 59'
    Ashley Young puts a crucial challenge in to deny Doucoure.
  • 58'
    Hughes finds a messy United clearance at his feet and his shot only just skims wide.
  • 55'
    Substitution Watford - the visitors make their first change of the match bringing on Femenia for Janmaat who sprints down the tunnel.
  • 55'
    Watford are very lively around the edge of the area but their final touches are failing them at the moment!
  • 53'
    Another chance for Watford as Pereyra takes a shot which requires a diving de Gea save at full stretch!
  • 51'
    Janmaat has a shot from outside the area but it flies over the bar and David de Gea launches the ball up-field from the goal kick.
  • 48'
    Much like the start of the first-half, it's Watford who are in Man United territory. Hopefully they can make it count this time!
  • 45'
    Back in action at Old Trafford? Can Watford find the equaliser or will Man United extend their lead...
  • 45'
    HT: Manchester United 1-0 Watford. At the break the home side have the lead after Rashford slotted the ball past Foster. Watford started well and will look to regain their momentum after the break! Stay tuned!
  • 45'
    Javi Gracia does not look best pleased and he will hope to use half-time to rally his side for an equaliser.
  • 45'
    Foster called on again as Manchester United almost put the ball through to Rashford. He might have been offside, and not for the first time in this match.
  • 45'
    The fourth official indicates that we will have three minutes of added time before the break.
  • 44'
    A free-kick comes in for Watford but Smalling clears for a corner.

    Watford were lucky there are Kabasele got the ball stuck under his feet attempting to make up for Foster's error.
  • 41'
    Foster prematurely comes off his line to attempt to block Rashford leaving his goal wide open. Luckily for Watford there was nobody else in the box for United and they claim possession and try to play it out from the back.
  • 39'
    Deulofeu now sports two highly fashionable bandages up his nose to stem the bleeding. Let's hope it doesn't affect his game as Watford look for an equaliser.
  • 38'
    Martial and Rashford link up in front of goal but the latter is unable to strike before the defence crowd him.
  • 36'
    Alex Ferguson watches on from the stands as United enjoy their lead for Solskjaer's first match as permanent boss.
  • 35'
    Deulofeu is down after a collision and receives treatment from the physios for a bloody nose.
  • 32'
    CHANCE UNITED!!! Martial will wonder how he hasn't doubled the lead! The corner came in and he found himself with the rebound at his feet. He smashed it goalward and Foster was in the right place at the right time to make a point blank block!!!
  • 32'
    United corner as the home side are starting to settle into a rhythm now. Watford need to be careful they don't let the goal faze them.

  • 28'
    GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL MANCHESTER UNITED!!!! Luke Shaw put Marcus Rashford through on goal who split the full-backs and slotted it past an approaching Foster!
  • 26'
    Saying that Martial goes down in the box and United want a penalty. The referee waves play on as Britos' contact was minimal.
  • 26'
    The tempo has slowed somewhat as United keep hold of possession in search of someone up front.
  • 24'
    Deulofeu puts a shot in but it doesn't threaten De Gea who gathers nonchalantly.
  • 23'
    Martial charged into the box but his final touch was too heavy, allowing Janmaat to get back and make a block for Foster to gather.
  • 23'
    Watford corner - the ball is a good one from the flag but Rashford was back in defence to clear with a header. United back in possession and on the charge with Martial in the box.
  • 20'
    De Gea makes a slightly laboured save down to his right. Hopefully he's shaken that early injury off.
  • 18'
    Shaw overlaps Rashford to put a cross in but Britos is there to block for Watford! Man United settling into the game now!

    Deeney with a wild shot from way outside the box. Very hopeful! Has he seen who's in United's goal?
  • 8'
    United are looking a little shaken at the back. Lots of last ditch clearances!
  • 6'
    Watford are looking much more threatening at the moment as Doucoure gets a shot away. It would have been on target had Chris Smalling not intervened for a corner!
  • 4'
    Deulofeu looked to be receiving some treatment on the sideline for a leg strapping but he's back in action.
  • 3'
    Watford have got off to a stronger start with more possession. That culminates with a cross into the box from the right wing but Young deals with it before Deulofeu can get there!
