Well thanks for joining us tonight. Any comments on that late-show by United, and Rovers' predicament, let me know on Twitter. Good night and see you tomorrow - I'll be your man for Barcelona v Milan.
90+3
That's the whistle - United move five points clear thanks to a late show from their wingers. 2-0, 76 points and seven wins on the bounce.
90+2
United haven't let go of the ball for a good while now. 70% overall possession now.
90+1
United just holding on to the ball now. Rovers fans still leaving early.
90'
Three minutes added on.
89'
Rooney is back defending to block a Marcus Olsson cross.
88'
"City's cracking up" is the song to the tune of Three Lions. Don't count your chickens lads. United, meanwhile, keeping possession easily.
87'
United fans are in fine voice now. Pedersen hammers one well wide.
86'
Rovers fans leaving in their droves now - harsh, they did well until that ridiculous goal from Valencia.
85'
GOAL UNITED! Fantastic strike from Ashley Young, turning from range and smacking a vicious low drive inside the right-hand post, off it even. Valencia assist.
84'
Who else has scored goals like that? I'm still in semi-shock, but am thinking Robbie Carlos, Kanu... Let me know on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport.
83'
Fergie lets rip at Welbeck after he gives the ball away with a needless flick.
82'
Well. He had defenders on him and they showed him outside and, from the tightest angle, he somehow swerved it in and out at serious pace to fly inside the far post beyond a completely conned Robinson.
81'
WHAT A GOAL FROM VALENCIA! From the right wing he unleashes a swerving bullet of a shot! One of the goals of the season if he meant it! Shades of the Roberto Carlos about that!
80'
Straight down the other end for United but Rafael's cross is blocked. Breath. Must. Catch.
80'
Pedersen hurls it near post, United don't clear their lines and Hoilett flicks it on for Yakubu to try a bicycle kick but he scuffs it well wide.
80'
UNITED SUB: Scholes off for Young.
79'
Hoilett gets around Ferdinand but the United defence recovers for now. Pedersen swings it in and Rafael dives in to head away for a throw.
78'
BRILLIANT CHALLENGE FROM FERDINAND! Pedersen was free on the left and drilled a perfect low ball for Yakubu, who was going to touch it in but Rio appeared from nowhere to block him!
77'
Giggs with a superb ball to send Rooney free wide left, lovely pass with the outside of the boot, but Rooney's low driven ball is too close to Robinson.
