Man United with a lot of the ball but so far QPR are getting bodies back and denying them space in and around the area.

This is United's equal-worst opening to a campaign since 2007-08 and the poorest since Ron Atkinson took just one point from his first three matches in 1981-82.

Herrera gets free on the right and cuts it back for Mata but the Spaniard crashes a poor shot over the bar from 20 yards out.

Di Maria completely overcooks a right-wing corner and the visitors are able to shield it out of play for a breather. United have raced out fo the traps here.

STAT: Rangers have failed to score in their last four away Premier League matches.

The corner is cleared but the home team come again. LVG's side having some joy down their left.

Mata teases a ball into Rooney from the left but the England captain's first touch isn't up to scratch and Ferdinand is able to get across and make the block. Corner ball.

Hoilett breaks down the left for the R's but as he cuts inside he's easily dispossessed by Rafael.

Sandro and Kranjcar slide in to deny Wayne Rooney a loose ball 45 yards from goal. United already pushing QPR back.

A nice pre-match moment for Rio, but now he needs his game face on!

KICK OFF! QPR get us up and running wearing their third kit for the first time this season.

A couple of stas via Opta Joe... Man Utd last failed to win any of their opening four league games back in the 1986-87 season, under Ron Atkinson. Bojangles.

Will it be tears of joy or despair for Rio come the full-time whistle? In 10 PL matches against United in his career to-date, Ferdinand has not been on the winning side once!

15.47

HEAD-TO-HEAD: QPR have failed to beat Man United in their last 15 league and cup encounters. The Red Devils have won 12 of them.

Wondering why Falcao is on the bench? Well, wonder no more...

Hot off the OT press.

Many observers believe Juan Mata could be the odd man out when LVG eventually settles on his favoured starting XI - but he's in from the off today and has a big point to prove. Read our blog on why he could endure a bad case of deja vu similar to that suffered in his last few months in a Chelsea shirt.

Will Mata suffer similar fate at United that ended his Chelsea career?

Louis van Gaal on what he expects from his collection of attacking superstars: "It doesn’t matter what I say now about Falcao, or Rooney or Van Persie for that matter. They are all great players, with great records, but they have to do it in the game on Sunday. They have to show their worth on the pitch. Not just the strikers but all the Manchester United players have to show themselves, in a team. It is up to them now."
