Hello and welcome to Villarreal v Manchester United!

My internet has vanished, so I'm currently watching on my phone - please forgive me. Truth is, if the second half is owt like the first, it's not going to matter much.

We go again.

Two poor sides playing a poor game, basically. United will be happy with 0-0, but could concede at any time.

Full-time: Villarreal 0-0 Manchester United

Wan-Bissaka tries to dribble out of defence, because that's exactly what he does well. Parejo duly robs him, finds Danjuma, and he tries to go outside Lindelof. But the defender closes down the angle well enough, so the resultant shot flies high and wide.

There'll be one additional minute.

United now have Sancho on the left, Martial through the middle and Ronaldo on theright.

United get the corner away and will be playing for half-time now.

Villarreal are back in the ascendancy, Fred and Parejo competing for a fifty/fifty and taking each other out before Gomez sends McTominay out for a bag of tapas and drags a low shot that Lindelof deflects behind for a corner.

...which Parejo swipes over the wall and over the bar.

Capoue spreads well for Foyth and his cross and the ball ends up down the left, Lindelof doing well to clear. But United can't clear and Van de Beek slides in on Estupinan, winning the ball but with his studs up and he's booked; Villarreal have a free-kick 20 yards out, left of centre...

United now look the likelier scorers, which isn't saying much, but is saying something.

Sancho is coming into this and he again eases forward, sliding a ball in behind for Van de Beek, who can't quite catch up with it.

Lindelof clatters into Danjuma and both stay down so the ref stops the game, but both are fine.

Matic is sent out to warm up, but I went too soon - Fred is back on the pitch.

Eeeeesh, Fred leans one way, then slips - I think his studs get stuck in the turf - and it looks nasty. Meantime, Villarreal counter, then the ref calls on the physio. I'm not sure he'll be able to continue.

United are growing into this and Lindelof drills a gorgeous pass from centre to left - they usually go to Rashford but this one is for Ronaldo, who collects well, eschews the shot when the angle presents itself, then tries a flick that Van de Beek doesn't read.

...to knock a tame effort straight into the wall.

Sancho drives forward and United move the ball left to Martial, who tries to slide Telles in behind. So Pino introduces arm to waist, earning himself a booking that means he misses the Atalanta game, and United have a free-kick 23 yards out, left of centre. Here comes Ronaldo....

United have grown in confidence these last few minutes so they're probably about to concede ... and they nearly do, Telles getting caught yet again as Pino crosses for Danjuma. But Lindelof gets to the ball first, at the top of the bounce, and the chance disappears.

Telles's corner is headed away at the near post but the ball comes back to him, and this time he picks out Ronaldo, who trampolines twice as high as everyone else, but heads straight at Rulli.
