Welcome to LIVE text coverage of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford. Beleaguered Steve Kean will be pleased to be away from Ewood Park, but a trip to face United does not represent an easy afternoon.

The second half is underway at Old Trafford, and United will have to improve considerably if they are to take control of this match.

The half-time whistle goes at Old Trafford, and Blackburn lead Manchester United 1-0 courtesy of Yakubu's penalty in the 16th minute! It's an astonishing scoreline as United have dominated the possession, but the hosts have lacked conviction and pace in the final third. What are your revised predictions for this match?

Rochina breaks down the right on the counter attack before being dispossessed by Carrick as United resume their attack.

The first of three added minutes sees Samba make a fine intervention inside the Rovers box to clear a cross from Nani.

Bunn makes another fine save as Hernandez fires a shot on target from close range, albeit an acute angle out on the right, and Rovers are hanging on.

Evra swings over another cross from the left, before Nani draws a fine save from Bunn to his left as the winger plants a snap shot on target from inside the Rovers box!

Blackburn are defending stoutly, and United's build up play is far too sluggish and pedestrian to test the visitors.

Rochina is looking very bright for Blackburn as he jinks inside two challenges and fires wide from 25 yards.

Park whips over a superb cross from the left as the ball hangs in the air inviting a header, but Lowe manages to clear.

Nani goes down clutching his ankle as he proceeds to roll out of play and receive treatment. It all looks very theatrical, but within seconds he is back on the field.

United keep possession in the Blackburn half, but the visitors look more and more comfortable at the back after a very dodgy start.

Blackburn have won just one of their last 18 Premier League away games (W1 D7 L10).

Again, there are huge appeals from the visitors as Berbatov tugs at Samba, and he is looking a real liability defending set pieces inside the United box.

Nani makes space for himself 25 yards out, but the execution of his shot is very poor as he slices it high and wide.

Bunn is booed as he dallies over a goal kick, but Blackburn are understandably attempting to consolidate their early lead.

Park receives the ball again on the edge of the Blackburn half, but he is harried superbly by Henley and Blackburn clear.

Pedersen whips over a fine delivery from a corner out on the left, but Samba's header is poor after rising above Berbatov again - why is the Bulgarian having to mark him?

Welbeck attempts a slick one-two with Hernandez, before the ball breaks loose to Nani who drives a shot wide.

It's all very slow and patient from United as the hosts remain camped inside the Blackburn half, but unable to force a breakthrough.

Formica is afforded an incredible amount of time and space on the edge of the United box, and eventually he shoots with the ball drifting just wide!

Hernandez goes close with a sharp turn to evade Samba, and a fierce drive which fizzes narrowly wide of the far post!
