As for Martial, he scored a brilliant solo goal for United last season, at Fulham - a game they'd have won anyway - then vanished at the end of the season, when they needed him. He's got elite-level ability but, unlike Greenwood, he's only a part-time killer.
37'
United have been excellent so far. Partizan are rubbish, but if they play at this pace and with this movement, taking these risks, all the time, they'll score more goals than they have been doing.

Lovely from Rashford, who weaves in midfield then plays Martial in! He might go around the keeper, or steady himself, but instead goes to chip him and the ball sails over.

WHAT A GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 (Martial) And that is why you persevere! Good pressure from Greenwood forces the mistake from Urosevic, charging down his clearance, and the ball breaks to Martial. With a brilliant first touch, he puts the ball into space for himself, beating Pavlovic, takes another perfect touch inside Ostojic, then another to see off Pavlovic again as he slides in from behind then, a stride early, bends a finish around Stojkovic as he comes out. Oh my absolute days! That footwork should be hanging in a gallery!

Nacho goes through McTominay, shin to calf, and is booked. That was good from Maccie T, who saw him coming and protected the ball well.
30'
United are playing with a bit of tempo tonight, and McTominay almost slides one through to Martial. That was the right idea, played with pace, and Martial showed for him - not something he always does. If you play up front on your own you need to occupy two defenders and he doesn't yet have the gumption.
29'
Sadiq gets wide on the right, but Rojo sees him away easily enough.
27'
Lovely link-up between Martial and Rashford, the latter feeding the former who zooms inside and lashes a riser that doesn't miss by much.
26'
Sadiq has a shot from distance that flies just wide of the top corner.
26'
Greenwood has now scored three times this season, and each goal has showed proper expertise - skill, composure, intelligence. He's a killer.
24'
Robbie Savage's nipper is at United and he's seen a lot of Greenwood so, like everyone of who that's so, raves about him. He's not slow but doesn't have electrifying pace - but that's the only criticism, if it is even a criticism, that I can think of.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Partizan (Greenwood) MASON GREENWOOD IS AN EXPERT! Rashford plays what's either a wondrous pass with the outside of his boot, or a fluke when looking for Mata, to Greenwood, who feints the shot with his right foot then nips in on his left before dragging a shot near post, Solskjaer-style, with the keeper expecting one to the far.
20'
Wan-Bissaka catches Sadiq with a stray arm and he nips off for a quick break. It's Heung-min Son I really feel sorry for in all of this.
19'
United give it away in midfield and Natcho picks it up then espies Asano running in behind Wan-Bissaka. With the right pass he's in, but what eventuates is nothing of the sort.
19'
We've not seen much of Mason Greenwood so far.
17'
By the way, Celtic are through to the last 32, after Olivier Ntcham's goal - in the 95th minute - gave them victory away to Lazio.

Excellent from Wan-Bissaka, getting down the right and picking out Rashford, wandering into the box unmarked. This is a difficult chance, on the volley, and he might have let it drop a little more or tried to control, instead of zetzing miles away from anywhere.
14'
Partizan have come to play - they need the win - and Asano weaves outside the box but opts not to play Miletic in, so United get around him and eventually see the ball away.
13'
This has been an ok start from United but, rather like Van Gaal's team, these often start ok, but get quickly discouraged when things don't happen for them at the same time as exhausting their piggy bank of ideas.
11'
There's a great row inside Old Trafford - the club have given a corner for fans, many of whom know each other, to be vocal, and it's helping. The previous attempt was in an upper tier and, to work properly, the section needs to be by the pitch.

United move it well, Martial moving away from goal then spinning to slide Mata in down the left. He sends Pavlovic for a bag of chips, feinting outside then inside, rolling into Rashford's path, but Stojovic is very close to him and blocks. Perhaps he could've gone under him, but if United keep at it, they'll score.
