35'
Banega finds himself on the ball just outside the d, so swipes a shot that flies well wide. This is turgid stuff.
34'
Matic bundles through midfield and finds Young, who crosses first-time without bothering to notice that there's no point in so doing, there being one attacker in the box surrounded by many defenders.
33'
Lukaku is trying his best, and spreads play to Young, who finds Lingard. He looks for Fellaini at the far post, but his knockdown is straight to Lenglet.
32'
It's fair to say that I'm biased, but still: if United played Sevilla with their best players in their best positions and didn't bother with tactics and such, I'm pretty sure they'd win comfortably.
31'
Rashford screeches past Banega down the right and it looks like something might happen, then Escudero slides in to dispossess him.
29'
Nice from Rashford, taking the ball off Sanchez and lifting a nice ball into Lukaku, but he can't quite gather.
28'
This game is a mess.
25'
Snxchez drifts a pass towards the far post, and Escudero concedes the corner, Rashford with it ... and Nzonzi clears at the front post.
23'
Lukaku drops and takes Bailly's clearance on his chest very nicely, then finds Young outside him. The ball moves onto Sanchez who, on the edge of the box, dead centre, can't quite flick a through pass for Lingard. United have been slightly better these last few minutes.
21'
United's first attack in some time, Vazquez giving it away to Sanchez, who finds Lukaku. He spreads wide to Rashford, but the ball is outside him not inside him, and his eventuating cross, when he eventually catches up with it, is headed clear by the first man.
20'
Marcus Rashford is on the ball deep inside his own half. Why?
19'
Old Trafford is silent as United knick the ball across the back four before whacking it up to Fellaini. Nothing comes of it.
18'
Mourinho won the Champions League with a not dissimilar formation to this 4-2-3-1, but his defence was much better than United's and his midfield much more mobile. United should be in 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 diamond.
16'
Again, United allow Sevilla to arrive in front of their box, Banega into Sarabia, and Vazquez curls way over. At some point, Sevilla's final touch is going to improve - United need to find their intensity.
16'
Ever Banega? Yeah, but it wasn't for me.
13'
United are giving Sevilla so much space, and Bailly has to block another shot from Correa. United are allowing them to pick their way through to just outside the box without putting them under. And Bailly then gives it away to Sarabia! he finds Correa, who finds Muriel, whose shot is way off. But that's another warning.
12'
Sevilla are into this now, and Bailly has to charge down a shot from Vazquez. And then again, Vazquez has possession, Smalling doing well to block him off just outside the box.
11'
United are letting Sevilla pass it out from the back. I'm not sure why, because it's helping them get into stride when they weren't responding especially well to pressure.

And Banega swerves it into the near post, Correa up early and miles ahead of Matic, diverting the ball just over the bar. Decent effort, but De Gea wasn't concerned enough to get involved.
9'
Sevilla have had a better last couple of minutes and Vazquez whips a cross into Valencia, earning a corner.
8'
Valencia clears rashly to Escudero, but nips in to redeem himself ahead of Correa.
