Manchester United - Reading live updates

Not much for Sergio Romero to do in goal for United yet. Still Argentina’s number one keeper.

Rooney releases Rashford but he puts too much of a boot on it as he cuts inside, allowing Van den Berg to clear.

Both players final back on their feet after treatment so there will be at least two additional minutes at the end of this match.

A clash between Kermorgant and Carrick as both hit the deck. Looks like they’re both going to be okay.

No substitutions for Manchester United at the start of this second half. Jones sets Rashford away and Rooney just can’t finish it off at the far post for the record breaker.

Back underway here at Old Trafford and Reading with a mountain to climb already. Perhaps fortunate to be only two goals behind. Obita on for Blackett for Reading.

HALF TIME: Manchester United 2 Reading 0

United break quickly again and Fellaini almost plays Mata in. Reading will be glad for this half time whistle.

Two additional minutes to be played here.

CLOSE! Good pressure from Gunter prevents Martial from turning in Rashford's cross.

There will be two additional minutes at the end of this half as Rashford almost sets Rooney for a tap in.

Now the rampaging Martial sets up Mata but his side foot balloons over the bar.

A great advantage played and it takes a great block from Evans to prevent United from scoring again.

Dangerous cross in from Young to Mata but the midfielder is a yard offside. Reading living dangerously again.

Vital for Reading that they don’t concede another before the break. Tough enough as it is at the moment.

STAT: The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 24 FA Cup meetings with second-tier sides (W20 D4), last suffering defeat in 1981/82 against Watford.

Mata hits it with his left foot but straight into the wall and Reading clear.

More pressure from United, forcing successive corners. Young fouled on the edge of the box and this is another chance.
