"Manchester United will certainly have to do an awful lot better. They hardly created a chance after the first five minutes. I'm sure they're going to improve in the second half.
"Perreira has come on. Playing at wingback is 70% going forward and 30% going back but Janko barely crossed the halfway line and when he did his crosses didn't beat the first man."
Big shout for a penalty to MK Dons as Darren Potter scampers into the area before hitting a shot that appears to hit the arm of Jonny Evans. Not given but the reaction from one or two Manchester United players suggest that was a let-off for the visitors. Reece James is booked shortly after for United.
Swindon continue to cause Brighton problems - Massimo Luongo jinking into the box and finding Louis Thompson who fires over.
Louis van Gaal does indeed make a change as Saidy Janko goes off and Andreas Pereira, an attacking midfielder, comes on before Manchester United get the second half under way.
Manchester United could do with his heroics, but Federico Macheda is in Cardiff colours now and puts his new side ahead, turning in a Declan John cross,
BBC Sport's Chris Osborne at Stadium:mk: "Unimaginative and uninspiring. Manchester United sleepwalked through the first half, but it's the MK Dons fans who think they're dreaming. Their boss Karl Robinson was up and shouting at his team for most of the half. On the other hand, Louis van Gaal has barely appeared. More urgency needed all round this half."

Jordan Bowery goes close for the visitors as he shrugs off his marker and shapes a shot into the far post.
Jack Cork gets up well to register his first Saints goal. It is an assist for early-season impresser Dusan Tadic who provided the corner.

Paul, from Formby, via text: LVG is a slow starter, they say. He also causes problems and has only been in uncompetitive leagues where one team always wins - and still messes it up! Sorry United fans but Moyes was and is the better choice. This will carry on all season before he "amicably" departs like has at every other club.
Gerry, via text: Van Gaal should use the half-time team talk to introduce his players to each other.
Dan, via text: Calm down, it was only a few seasons ago when United lost to Southend under Sir Alex's reign.
A minor upset on the cards here as League One Doncaster lead at Championship side Watford. Dean Furman breaks into the box and delivers a low cross where 19-year-old Liam Wakefield is on hand to slot home from eight yards out.
Preston North End are back in it with an almost immediate response. Jordan Hugill stabs in from close range to restore parity shortly after Boro's opener.
Sheffield United are level as a cross comes off the head of Blades striker Marc McNulty and Winston Reid shins into his own goal.
Dwight Gayle will be taking home the matchball tonight after scoring a hat-trick. Here he is celebrating his third:

Image source, Getty ImagesIt will be interesting to see what, if anything, Louis van Gaal does for the second half. As Steve Claridge says, the players look to be struggling playing 3-5-2 against an MK Dons side hungry for an upset. Both teams are just emerging for the second half now.
A textbook set-piece from Lee Tomlin. He won the free-kick and dusted himself off to exact full punishment, whipping the ball over the wall and past Jamie Jones.
Cameron Jerome marked his Norwich debut with his side's first. Fellow debutant Carlos Cuellar gets the booby prize, slicing Conor Henderson's cross into his own net to hand Crawley a lifeline.
Richard Berry:, external Van Gaal is a proven winner but if you look at his record he's a slower starter. We will be up there when the season ends.
Jade Babb:, external How unimaginative and boring is this Man Utd side, yawn.
Ricky Lee Everett:, external LVG will get it right in the end, but is this proof that Moyes wasn't given enough time? The players are letting the club down.
