Evening all, and welcome to Manchester United's season, also known as Jose Mourinho's reputation. Make a mess of this and both are in shtuck; find a way to make ti work and both are set.

So, that's about us - thanks for your company and enjoy the rest of your nights.

Well, this tie ought really to be over; had United held on for four minutes, it would've been as good as over. But they didn't take their chances, lost concentration at the back, and must now be on their mettle next week - after a quick meeting with Chelsea on Sunday.

Full-time: Anderlecht 1-1 Manchester United

Fosu-Mensah dives in on Hanni with two feet and is booked.

Pogba ploughs down the right and clips a square pass for Fellaini that Appiah does well to intercept.

Fosu-Mensah replaces Mkhitaryan.

I wonder whether Mourinho regrets bringing on Fellaini; probably not. But he just can't help himself; there's really no need for a defensive substitution with a narrow lead against an inferior team. Louis van Gaal got into trouble doing this all the time as well.

GOAL! Anderlecht 1-1 Manchester United (Dendoncker) This is an excellent goal, Obradovic nashing down the left and clipping over a brilliant cross. It's met on the run and ahead of Darmian by Dendoncker, while Fellaini ponders the meaning of life; a thumping header then zooms past Romero. Once again, United's failure to take their chances comes back to devour their buttocks.

Lovely from Zlatan, spotting a superb run from Pogba at inside-right and picking him out with a short pass. Pogba sits Martinez down too, but as he did against Liverpool and Bournemouth, he can't slide home a finish, hitting the keeper's leg much to his disgust.

Pogba knocks one back for Fellaini, who meets the ball well, driving a shot that clips Appiah and rushes into Martinez's midriff.

Acheampong, who's been Anderlecht's most consistent threat, cuts a square pass into the middle for Hanni, who turns away from Fellaini then shoots low and hard, only for Bailly to deflect behind. The corner comes to nowt.

Teodorczyk is on for Thelin; perhaps that'll give Anderlecht the presence they've lacked until now.

Can't believe Carrick hasn't given Fellaini the armband.

Fellaini is getting all sorts of stick for his Standard Liege connection.

Mourinho has seen enough: it's Fellaini time. He replaces Rashford, as United settle for 1-0. This usually works....

Nice from United, Pogba taking the ball off Zlatan and lifting a return that sees his man jinking along the by-line to deliver a low cross which is eventually cleared.

Mistake from Bailly sees Tielemans seizing on space inside the box, left-hand side, and he cuts back well only for Dariman to slide into a challenge, snaffling possession and allowing Carrick to hump clear. That is brilliant, goal-saving defending.

They lead Schalke 2-0.

Mkhitaryan accelerates away from Tielemans, who brings him down and does well to avoid the yellow card which would see him missing the second leg. Mourinho is as amused as you'd expect.
