Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Manchester United v Galatasaray in both sides' opening game of the 2012/13 Uefa Champions League. Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 19:45 UK time.

Thanks for joining us. We'll see you next time.

So United get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start at Old Trafford, even if the performance was a little underwhelming. If Galatasaray play like that against Braga though, they'll have no trouble qualifying for the knock-out stages.

FULL-TIME: Manchester United 1-0 Galatasaray

United break with Carrick. He plays in Hernandez, who tries a bicycle kick towards goal. It's off-target. That's three decent attempts he's had in less than 10 minutes.

Evans brings down Aydin Yilmaz in the United box. Somehow the penalty shouts are waved away again. What does anyone have to do tonight to get one?

Nani plays a low through-ball to Hernandez, whose shot is expertly blocked by Muslera. Fair play to Nounkeu too; he got himself in there again to put off the striker.

Five minutes of added time to be played.

Eboue is off the pitch for treatment. Galatasaray have, remember, used up all their subs... He's back on the pitch.

Eboue is on the ground again. Welbeck and the Ivorian both went for the same ball, the pair catching each others' knees. No malice in that from the England striker. Not that Eboue will be bothered by that.

Valencia is looking for a penalty, the winger having been brought down by Nounkeu. The contact was definitely there, but again the officials wave away the pleas.

Nani feeds Hernandez in the box, but the Mexican wastes a glorious chance to put the result beyond doubt and fires wide.

MAN UTD SUB: Welbeck replaces Kagawa.

Looks like the forward line will be changing wholesale for the home side. Danny Welbeck is getting ready to come on.

MAN UTD SUB: Javier Hernandez replaces van Persie.

Van Persie is booked for a foul on Elmander.

So Fletcher, who many thought may never play football again, is back on the pitch. The Old Trafford faithful are cheering every time he touches the ball.

GALATASARAY SUB: Aydin Yilmaz replaces Melo.

MAN UTD SUB: Darren Fletcher replaces Scholes.

Valencia produces yet another lacklustre cross. It's a shame, as he's not been lacking in the engine room tonight.

Kagawa's covered nearly 10km tonight. Superhuman.
