Evening all, and welcome to the "curtain-raiser" for the "curtain-raiser"; it's Manchester United v Real Madrid!

That's us then; enjoy the dregs of the weekend, and see youse again soon!

So United take two points from the game to Madrid's one.

Casemiro takes the same penalty again ... almost! This time he hits the face of the bar, and United are champions of the International Champions Cup game against Real Madrid. They must be buzzing!

Blind does what Lindelof tried to do, going down the middle as Casilla dives out of the road. Casemiro must score....

Hahahahahahahaha! Hernandez sends De Gea the wrong way but puts the ball wide. This is now as bad as Sunderland in the League Cup.

Lindelof completes a miserable afternoon, looking to go down the middle and hitting Casilla who stays where he is.

Ooh! Quezada goes right and De Gea guesses correctly, imparting a hand .. but the power takes it in.

At last! Mkhitaryan rolls into the bottom left as the keeper dives right.

Oscar goes next ... and De Gea saves again! This is a great save it must be said, diving left and reaching up with his right hand to claw away.

Here comes Scotty (Mc)T ... and his kick is too close to Casilla, who dives right to push away. Dear, dear.

De Gea saves from Kovacic, diving low and right. Another useless effort.

Martial will start ... and he wallops high! Don't say I didn't warn you.

Here we go then. The tension is bearable.

Americans simply cannot brook a draw.

It's penalties! The thrill!

Full-time: Real Madrid 1-1 Manchester United

Lukaku flicks on for Pogba, but Quezada slides in before he cut towards goal.

So who's going to miss a penalty? I'm going Fellaini and Martial.

We've not been told how long is left, but I'd guess about three minutes.

Madrid have been much the better side the last 15 minutes, though United missed the only real chance created.
