90+2'
Chance for Rooney late on, but Palace survive. There goes the final whistle. A 2-0 win for United. Comfortable in the end without being spectacular.
89'
We are into four minutes of time added on at Old Trafford.
88'
Rooney to Hernandez, but he drives the ball straight at Speroni. Poor finish really.

A few United fans begin to head for the exit door. This match well and truly over as a contest.
86'
The posse of visiting Palace fans still in good form despite thei 2-0 scoreline.
85'
Fabio on the run for United down his side's right flank, but he is heavy with a first touch and runs the ball out of play.

Chance for Rooney, but he just chips the ball over the goal. Should perhaps have looked to pick out a team-mate.
83'
Palace with their 10 men as Kebe is tackled by Vidic on the edge of the United box.
82'
Adrian Mariappa back on his feet after some treatment. Not sure if he is going to be fit to continue.
81'
Some smart play by Adnan Januzaj. Drives into the Palace box, but ends up screwing the shot well wide of goal.
80'
Rooney with a free-kick. Evra tries to connect with the loose ball, but can't. Will United pick up a third goal here.
79'
A smile on the face of Rooney. A smile on the face of David Moyes. All is well in United's world.
78'
GOAL! Rooney sees the free-kick slide over the wall and into the corner of the net. United lead 2-0. Rooney's first goal of the season.
77'
Van Persie departs to be replaced by Hernandez. With one eye on Europe and Manchester City over the next week.
76'
Moxey sticking to his task to win the ball from Valencia, and United will have a corner here.
75'
Van Persie twisting and turning to some effect. Drills the shot at goal, but Speroni is well positioned at his near post to make the stop.
74'
Marouane Chamakh departs to be replaced by Jimmy Kebe for Palace.
73'
Chance for Rooney, but he can't sneak the ball through the barrage of Palace bodies. The visiting side holding out with some purpose.
72'
Fellaini winning the ball from Chamakh before he is bundled to the ground. United have the free-kick in the Palace half. And they have another corner seconds later.
71'
As long as the scoreline remains 1-0, Palace still in with a chance of nicking something from this contest.
