Match report in news

  • Finished
    United are out, Leipzig and PSG go through. If PSG beat Baseksehir, they will top the group otherwise the Germans will. That game has yet to resume and it looks certain that game will be abandoned after an alleged racist comment by the fourth official inside the opening quarter of an hour. You'll hear much more about that. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
  • Finished
    Leipzig were 3-0 up and reasonably comfortable after goals by Angelino, Haidara and Kluivert, but it was a United siege at 3-0. Fernandes scored a dicey penalty, Pogba made it 3-2 and then Mukiele so nearly deflected a Pogba cross into his own net but the ball struck Gulacsi's legs!

    Almost 3-3!!!! Almost an own goal!!! Pogba's cross is deflected by Mukiele and the ball strikes Gulacsi on the legs!!! That was going in!!!

    United attacking, but running out of time. Leipzig have been very nervous for the last 20 minutes and even more since the penalty call. It's panic stations now from both teams.
  • 92'
    Pogba's cross goes straight into the box and Gulacsi catches it!!! Orban takes a knock from his goalie as well. Two minutes left.

  • 89'
    Rashford's shot is straight at Gulacsi!
  • 89'
    In the 3-2 goal, Pogba's header may strike Maguire's arm on the way in and that would be handball. Controversy over both goals.

    McTominay!!! Rashford passes to the Scot who slips and the ball goes over!
  • 88'
    Leipzig sub: Halstenberg on for Angelino.
  • 87'
    Pogba makes a terrible mistake at the back and is let off as Leipzig are caught offside.
  • 86'

  • 84'
    If it goes 3-3, United would be through, Leipzig wouldn't be out, but would need Basaksehir to beat PSG.
  • 83'
    The first goal was very controversial and the second was a good header by Pogba.

    The players are out here!

    Leizpig's last two matches have been a 3-4 win at Basaksehir and a 3-3 draw with Bayern so expect plenty of goals. Upamecano is replaced by Orban in defence, and Nkunku is in for Poulsen.
  • PRVW
    United's last game was a 1-3 win over West Ham last Saturday.
  • PRVW
    United make three changes from the 1-3 loss to PSG last week. Matic replaces the suspended Fred while Shaw and Greenwood are in for Martial and Cavani. Pogba doesn't start.
  • PRVW
    Just three degrees in Leipzig this evening, but dry.
  • PRVW
    Antonio Mateu Lahoz from Spain is the referee and Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    Man U, Leipzig and PSG are fighting for two places. United are 100% through with a win or draw and 100% out with a loss. Leipzig must win this game. The only way they can progress without winning is if PSG are beaten at home by Basaksehir. Then, a draw would see both Leipzig and United into the last 16. PSG only need a draw and will even qualify with a loss if Leipzig v Man Utd is not a draw.
  • PRVW
    Let's take you through the situation in group H. Man U, Leipzig and PSG are all on 9pts while Basaksehir are out on 3pts.
  • PRVW
    Man Utd XI: De Gea (GK); Shaw, Maguire,. Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka; Telles, Matic, B Fernandes, McTominay, Greenwood; Rashford.
  • PRVW
    Leipzig XI: Gulacsi (GK); Angelino, Orban, Konate, Mukiele; Kampl, Haidara, Sabitzer; Forsberg, Olmo and Nkunku.
