Manchester United - Stoke City live updates

The ball is played all the way back to de Gea and we’re underway again.

Pieters still down and receiving treatment. He eventually gets to his feet and hobbles to the side line.

Now Pieters is down injured after an innocuous looking clash with van Persie.

Van Persie lays it off to Herrera but his cross is smuggled clear from Pieters. Early pressure from United.

Now Shawcross with his arms all over van Persie and it’s another free kick. Early rough house tactics from Stoke.

Now Bojan adjudged to have fouled van Persie. Niggly start to this half.

Lovely ball from van Persie to Young but it’s a poor ball from Young and Fellaini is penalised for a naughty challenge on Pieters at the back post.

Really poor ball in by Mata, straight into the gloves of Begovic.

Stoke set up to defend very deep already. They’d certainly take a point but far too early to think that way. Foul by Assaidi on Herrera and an early chance.

Lovely floated ball from van Persie to Mata in the box but he couldn’t turn and get his shot away.

Radamel Falcao retakes his position on the bench. Just how fit is he, I wonder?

We’re back underway at Old Trafford. No substitutions for either side as yet.

STAT: Stoke have scored five goals in their last three PL visits to Man Utd – they had only scored four goals in their previous 13 top-flight visits to Old Trafford.

HALF TIME: Manchester United 1-1 Stoke City

Fellaini wins a late corner as we go into time added on. One added minute. Stoke clear.

This match really has sparked to life now. Fellaini could easily have had a couple. Still 1-1 though.

Great save Begovic! It falls to Fellaini again from Smalling’s miscued drive but his shot is excellently palmed clear.
