    Strong defending from Mike* Smalling to barge Harry Kane off the ball and clear. Tough second period for the England striker. Not had a sniff.

    Erik Lamela on for Mousa Dembele. Can the Argentine score past his fellow countryman in the United goal?

    Bastian Schweinsteiger's first real contribution is to go in the book after a cynical trip on Nacer Chadli. The German still getting to grips with the pace of the Premier League.

    Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham

    No goal on debut for Memphis Depay, who comes off for Ander Herrera. The Spaniard was overlooked in pre-season despite a decent first season in a red shirt. Can he stamp his mark in the team in the 23 minutes he gets on the pitch?

    Manager Louis van Gaal, sans blazer, takes a swig of water. It's a hot day at Old Trafford today.

    So much so, that Sergio Romero is in short sleeves, but the Argentine plays like that come sun, wind or rain. He gathers smartly from a Kyle Walker ball into the box. Handled well so far.

    Bastian Schweinsteiger can't grow tall enough to get on the end off a Matteo Darmian cross. The ball eventually reaches Ashley Young at the other side of the box, and his low shot - through a few Tottenham legs - is saved well by Michel Vorm.

    Harry Kane wriggles away from two United challenges, but his cross-field pass goes awry. The Englishman has been quiet in the second half. Come to think of it, nothing much has happened in the second period.

    Another standing ovation for Bastian Schweinsteiger when he comes on and an incredible roar too. Can't wait for his first touch - and think the roof might come off the Stretford End if he scores a goal.

    Welcome to the Premier League Bastian Schweinsteiger, it'll be a lot more demanding in this league. It'll be interesting to see how he settles in.

    Michael Carrick's work is done as World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger makes his entrance. Receives a warm welcome from the home support.

    He's the first German to play for Manchester United in the Premier League.

    Skipper on skipper. Wayne Rooney hits the deck after a knee to the head from Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen. No action taken by the referee though.

    Nabil Bentaleb struggled in the game. He gave the ball away on occasions. Manager Mauricio Pochettino probably said to him 'improve or you'll be sitting next to me'.

    A free-kick from Tottenham from around 30-yards out, curled into the box by Christian Eriksen, but Sergio Romero gathers cleanly. Well dealt with by the Argentine. That will give his confidence a boost.

    Morgan Schneiderlin and Michael Carrick have both been very tidy in possession for the home side, picking the ball up and popping it off.

    Kyle Walker fouls Ashley Young and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is not happy with the decision and gets a quiet word from the referee.
