44'
Mata's dribble is brought to an end by Carrick, who makes his most telling contribution of the game so far. Mathieu has a cracking volley saved by Van der Sar, but it's irrelevant, since the whistle has already gone.
43'
United move forward, countering at pace after the corner came to nothing, but Park is robbed and it's Valencia's turn to break!
43'
Mata lays it off for Dominguez to try a long range shot - it takes a deflection of Vidic. No handball despite the appeals, just a corner.
42'
Possession is 50/50 so far. It's been even enough between the two sides - cautious, but even.
41'
Ferguson's chewing gum intensity: Low-to-medium. He's seen Valencia grow into this game after United looked the better side in the early exchanges.
40'
Pablo cannot find a way through to cross on the right, but Dominguez and Miguel combine to do so instead. Good cross, nobody there to finish.
39'
Mathieu applauds a Dominguez pass down the flank, but it's hard to see why. It goes out of play before the full-back can get anywhere near it.
38'
No joy for Valencia - Evra will have a throw from almost the same place.
38'
Dominguez tries a cross but has to settle for a throw. Miguel will take it.
37'
Berbatov has just eased Navarro off the ball as they race for a long ball, and that's enough for the referee to blow for a foul.
36'
United shape themselves into a threatening position before Carrick has his pocket picked and Valencia break with pace and purpose, winning a corner.
35'
Nani's cross is cleared by Soldado, who is the first man. That was a disappointing delivery, and the pressure on Valencia is released.
34'
Carrick, seemingly going nowhere, suddenly barges through into space on the left and Albelda brings him down. Promising set piece chance.

DANGEROUS FROM PABLO! He gets the better of Evra and slides a cross past both Soldado and Mata at the far post. Doesn't get the final touch it needed.
31'
A link-up between Berbatov and Nani comes to nothing on the right, but Tino Costa squanders any advantage Valencia might have gained by playing an aimless ball out on the full.
30'
Poor back pass which interests Nani, but Cesar Sanchez rushes out quickly to clear up.
29'
Navarro tries to pick out a pass for Miguel but Carrick is wise to that one. The game has just gone off the boil a touch in the last ten minutes.
28'
Mata, one of Valencia's better known dangermen, has been quiet so far.
28'
Another manful chase from Soldado, but Van der Sar clears it just in time.
27'
Rafael releases Nani on the right. Nani picks out Anderson but Maduro brings the move to an end.

From our friend OptaJoe on Twitter: "18 - Man Utd have only ever won one of 18 European matches away in Spain (v Deportivo La Coruna in April 2002). Quixotic."
