Ferguson, speaking to ITV: "I can't believe it. A minute and 20 seconds and you're on the back foot right away. We've played some good football and we've had that one chalked off for offiside... we can get back into it. I'm not happy with the ref, to be honest with you."

Should Fergie change the system? Which wide man would you bring on?

Braga seeing out the half in possession and Serbian ref Milorad Mazic blows three seconds into injury-time (what about the three goals?) The visitors are good value for their 2-1 lead.

The United fans are furious as Buttner swerves his way into the box through two players and goes to ground only to be denied a penalty. He slipped - he was already falling as he collided with Leandro Salino.

Van Persie slips in Kagawa who has Hernandez in the middle, but the flag is up. Replays show that he was level.
