48'
Son to Can who cuts inside but gives it straight to Evra as he tried to pick out Castro.
47'
Bright start to the second half from Leverkusen, but the onus is on them to take the game to United.
46'
The second half is underway!
45+1
Half-time and United are in control, 2-0; they will qualify if things stay the same.
45'
Valencia with a decent cross that Nani can meet but Spahic gets a toe on it and Leno claims.
44'
After a poor start this match is more open and engaging now, like a kindly old man. The hosts move forward now but are forced back with United hunting in packs.
43'
Toprak with a vital interception as United raced through in numbers, Valencia with the driven cross. Leno gathers.
42'
Spahic nearly meets a Can corner but Rooney clears. United counter, Nani charging forward but his ball is poor and with Leno.
41'
Since conceding the second the hosts have improved - but United have stepped back a touch.
39'
Castro with another pop from range but miles over this time. He feels Son was fouled before but the ref played on.
38'
Evans fouls Kiessling but Bayer don't make anything of it.
37'
Shakhtar have taken the lead against Sociedad, meaning Leverkusen would drop to third behind the Ukrainians. A win sends United through whatever happens.
36'
Castro takes the corner, high and deep and it sneaks behind before coming back in.
35'
Evra makes a mistake to let Bender in but once more Evans saves the day.
34'
Another United counter should yield a corner but the ref points for a goal kick though Toprak seemed to get a touch. Nani involved again.
32'
Kagawa on the run, it opens up through the middle but - with support both sides - he elects to shoot, hitting it weakly at Leno.
31'
Two assists now for Rooney. He's having a blinder.
30'
GOAL UNITED! Rooney's free-kick is a stunner, Smalling rising to meet it but defender Spahic diverting it past his own keeper. 2-0, own goal.
29'
Reinhartz fouls Kagawa and United have a free-kick, Rooney to take from the left wing...
28'
Bender has a crack but well off target. United still in control.
27'
Good cross by Castro but Smalling gets there before Kiessling. But Valencia fouls Can and the hosts have a free-kick on their left.
