Not overly impressive from United it must said. 1-1. A first point for United, but Sunderland well worth their draw.

We are into four minuites of time added on.

Poyet giving Wes Brown a few pointers. Rooney picks out Welbeck. United push it side to side before Jones wins a tackle from Altidore on the break. Game going from end to end, but no nearer a goal.
88'
Larsson picks out Wickham on the run, but he can't control the ball. Ends up slipping. Young then skips up the park at the other end, but his drive is safely into the arms of Mannone.
87'
Bit of panic in the Sunderland box ends with Young seeing a shot blocked by a home shirt. Brown then gets the ball back to Mannone. Somehow. A better cross that time from Young.
86'
Jozy Altidore has scored two Premier League goals in 60 appearances. His last (and only) goal for Sunderland came on 4 Dec 2013, in a 4-3 home loss to Chelsea.
85'
Jones with the clearance to ensure Altidore can't inflict any damage upon United. Sunderland inside the visiting half here.

Rooney comes up with the cross that time, but another misdirected ball can only find Mannone's hands.

82'
Altidore can't get the ball under control on the edge of the United area as Jones sweeps clear. This match remains firmly in the balance with eight minutes remaining.

Mannone races from his line to make a vital block on Young. Had to get there first. And did. Just. Impressive decision-making.

Jozy Altidore is introduced for Sunderland as Fletcher sees his number come up.

Adnan Januzaj scored his first ever Premier League goal in this fixture last year (2-1, 5 Oct 2013). Can he come up with the winning goal on this occasion?
76'
Welbeck tries to take on O'Shea, but the former United defender gets a vital foot in. Mannone then picks the Mata corner out of the air.
75'
Larsson with the free-kick, but the ball is about three or four yards wide of the visiting goal. United look to break.
75'
Gomez takes a dive under pressure from Keane, but he somehow earns his side a free-kick. 24 yards from the United goal. Larsson standing over this one.
