So the teams are level after an entertaining first-half. Stoke had probably the better chances and took a deserved lead through Choupo on the stroke of half-time. United levelled almost immediately however when Pogba's header took an almighty deflection off Rashford and into the net.
End of 1st Half
HT
HALF-TIME
Stoke are caught napping as a long ball is played behind their defence, and Lukaku is allowed space to fire a shot at goal from a tight angle. However, it's straight at Butland and that will be the last meaningful action of the first-half.

GOAL! Stoke 1-1 Manchester United (Rashford).
Stoke's lead lasts only a matter of 120 seconds. Matic flicks on a corner delivery and Pogba's header bounces off Rashford and into the back of the net.

It was a lovely team move from Stoke, but dreadful defending from the visitors.
Two minutes will be added on at the end of the first-half.

GOAL! Stoke 1-0 Manchester United (Choupo).
Well, there you have it - United have finally conceded in the Premier League. It's a lovely cross from Diouf which picks out Choupo and he tucks it in at the back post.

More frustration for United as Valencia over-hits his cross from a corner. Deliveries simply need to be better.
40'
Mkhitaryan is allowed to turn into space and he tries to pick out Rashford with a through-ball, but the youngster is beaten to the ball by Zouma. Excellent defending.
37'
Valencia does well to squeeze a cross into the Stoke penalty area, but it's cleared. United are lacking that quality end product at the moment.
36'
Fletcher concedes yet another free-kick, his second or third of the game, and is fortunate not to be booked.
33'
Rashford has been United's stand-out player thus far, and Mourinho will be praying he is fit to continue.

31'
Again, Valencia finds space behind the Stoke defence, but he's unable to find a team mate at the back post with his cross and the ball rolls out for a goal-kick.
29'
Valencia plays a one-two with Lukaku before swinging the ball into the Stoke penalty area. Zouma is there ahead of Rashford to clear, however.
28'
Finally the game is starting to open up once more. Shaqiri is allowed space to shoot, but it's straight into the arms of De Gea.
27'
Rashford tries to place the ball into the far corner, but Butland makes a good save.
26'
Shaqiri, always capable of the spectacular, unloads a left-footed shot from 20 yards and forces De Gea into a low save.
24'
CHANCE!
Rashford, showing all of the attributes of a top-class striker, makes a clever run to meet Bailly's through-ball, he holds off his marker and fires a shot at goal but Butland is down well to make the save..

22'
The movement and pace of Jese, playing as a false-nine, should keep the United defence busy this evening.
21'
Stoke's flat five-man defence is proving difficult for United to break down. Mourinho looks absolutely miserable in the dugout.
19'
Lukaku has been left rather isolated thus far, but he's eventually involved now as he receives a pass down the right channel. He cuts the ball back to Pogba whose first-time effort is blocked by Zouma.
