Evening all, and welcome to AS Roma v Manchester United!

I've watched loads of Cavani this season, and what's become clear is that he's not a great finisher in terms of taking his chances. But he's so good at finding them that he scores enough - frequently from the hard ones.

Fred makes a terrific tackle on Pellegrini and Fernandes is right there, curling a delicious outside-of-the-foot pass in behind for Cavani in the inside-right channel! He controls, has a look, and mass-murders a rising shot straight at Mirante, who beats away. That's two big chances spurned.

United are playing at a fairly leisurely pace now, looking to keep the ball until Bailly strides out from the back and through midfield. Allowed to run towards the Roma box, he has various options but gets lost in the supermarket, unable to decide who to find so passing to the opposition. It's not unamusing.

You watch United play, and it really does seem incredible that Wan-Bissaka and Greenwood might both miss out on the Euros. The former is never getting picked - I guess it's fair to note that England have a lot of right-backs - but he's by far the best one-on-one defender. Greenwood, though, would be a ridiculous omission - he can make his own chances, score from anywhere, and is exactly the player to whom you'd want the ball to drop in the box. Ollie Watkins and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are nice players, but theyr'e not in his class.

Fred sends one over the top and when it bounces, Cavani is in! But he has to lift the ball over the keeper and gets a little too much on it - it beats him, but it beats the net as well, clipping the bottom of the bar but on the side that faces the stand. Should've scored.

Wan-Bissaka powers towards the ball on the slide, not unlike Dhalsim of Street Fighter II fame; he gets a decent touch on it, but he gets a decent touch on Peres too, so the ref books him.

Elsewhere, Arsenal must overturn a 2-1 first-leg defecit to avoid the ignominy of being eliminated by Unai Emery. Currently, it's 0-0.

Ibanez runs away from Cavani who tries to trip him, misses and goes again; if at first you don't succeed and all that. His second effort is much better than his first, but for some reason he's not booked.

Pogba pauses on the ball not far outside the United box and Pedro nicks in to rob him before swiping a hopeful shot over the bar.

United have roused themselves slightly - they're pressing Roma high up the pitch now, and don't look desperate to make a game of it.

First flash of United, Cavani pickpocketing Mancini in the D and finding Fernandes left of centre; he floats towards the far stick, but gets too much on it - especially given Greenwood was on his heels.

I'd say United have made their start again, except they're not behind yet.

United have started like a drain, Shaw slow to the ball down the left thereby allowing Karsdorp to accelerate in front of him; he crosses low, and again De Gea does well to fling out a leg, blocking the danger behind. The corner comes to nowt.

Mkhitaryan prompts outside the box, snapping into Dzeko who taps back for Pellegrini ... and he slices wide from the edge of the box. Roma have started well here.

The eventuating corner goes to the back post ... and Big Henrikh Mkhtaryan is up! But Paul Pogba is too, and he does enough to force yerman to head wide. That was a really good chance.

It's swung in beautifully too and Mancini controls on the turn - perhaps with a hand - but De Gea makes a brilliant reaction save to foil the low shot, then flaps away the cross when it's turned back in. But the ball is still loose inside the box, before Maguire heads behind. Excellent from Roma, and not bad lat-ditch defending from United.

Mkhitaryan nods the ball into space and Bailly ploughs through him in typical style. Free-kick Roma, and this is a good chance to put a ball into the box....

It looks like United have gone for Pogba alongside Fred in front of the defence with Van de Beek coming off left and greenwood the right.

Thinking back to Roma's amazing comeback against Barca, the biggest difference between then and now is the absence of a home crowd. In co-commentary, Robbie Savage references Peter Drury's amazing commentary that night - scroll down to check it out.
