Anyway, thanks for joining me. Ta-ra.

Another narrow squeak for United, who were poor today. They were handed a goal and saved by their keeper, but given how poor they've been at the back lately, another clean sheet will be welcome.

Full-time: Norwich City 0-1 Manchester United
90+5'
Rashford does shoot, but straight into the wall. United recover possession and eventually the ball goes behind for a goalkick.
90+5'
Rashford looks like he's going to shoot, rather than keep possession; the ball's on the lone, near the left corner of the box....
90+4'

United counter and keep the ball well when the ball out to Greenwood is too heavy. He finds Fred, who skips down the side of Malou, and Malou chops him down just outside the box. Yellow card, and that should see United home.

Gilmour's free-kick is a fine one too! I think Ronaldo flicks it on and I also think Kabak is offside at the back post, but De Gea wasn't to know, and he smuggles the ball off the line! That's another vital save, and he's immediately named man of the match by Gary Neville, which makes sense.
90+1'
Cantwell eases away from Van de Beek at the corner of thebox, moving away from goal, but Van de Beek can't help but stick out a leg, handing Norwich a free-kick in a dangerous position, when he really didn't need to.
90+1'
There'll be five additional minutes.
90'
Ronaldo leaps over Gilmour, who moves, and Ronaldo lands on the coccyx, a real sair yin. But he's fine.
89'
In these closing minutes Fred's ability to win the ball high up the pitch has helped United relieve the pressure.

United send on Van de Beek for Ronaldo.

Telles, high up the pitch again, finds Fred who sticks into the box for Fernandes, and he drags a shot wide of the near post.

WHAT A MISS! Telles does really well to plough through Aarons and he sets Rashford away. Rashford's been better in the second half - he could barely have been worse - and he skips around Sorensen, works the ball onto his right foot, and passes across the face of goal for Ronaldo. It's a little behind him, but he should still do better than ballooon over a gaping net. Will United live to regret his profligacy?
84'
Last week against Palace, United did well to keep pressing when defending a one-goal lead, but they're sitting off and inviting Norwich on here. I'm not sure their defenders are cut out that. Cut-outs maybe...

Norwich are pushing hard now, Sargent crossing from the right and Gilmour rattling a shot that Dalot blocks, then smashing the rebound that Bailly blocks! United are putting it on the line here, and Norwich are giving them everything.
81'
Sargent clips a decent ball into the box, but Malou's touch takes it away from McLean and runs past Pukki, his intended target.
80'
Norwich are giving this a proper go, but they've just lacked quality and composure in the final third.

WHAT A SAVE DE GEA! Sargent's free-kick is a decent one and Kabak is up, Maguire beaten in the air for the first time today. The connection is perfect too, but De Gea hurls himself right to fist away! He's saved United so many times this season!

Dalot trips Cantwell and is booked.
