    Have Daley Blind and Nacer Chadli been to the same barber? The Belgian has his hair tied up in a pony-tail. Footballers these days, soft.

    Morgan Schneiderlin trying a give and go, but it doesn't come off.

  2. Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham

    Nearly! Juan Mata has one, has two pops at goal but Michel Vorm has it covered and the ball dribbles wide of goal. The Spaniard looks away in digust, he didn't catch that one properly from the edge of the box. Had he got a better connection, it could have been two. Has to go down as a chance.

    Daley Blind headsAP

    Dutchman Daley Blind playing at the back for United today, with his hair tied up in a bun. Not sure about that. Lad needs a short, back and sides hair cut.

    Hasn't hindered his performance so far though, has looked assured in central defence.

  5. Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham

    Corner swung in by Ashley Young towards the near post but it's cleared by Ben Davies. Spurs on the back foot after a bright start. Can they recover?

    Fair to say the Tottenham fans are not impressed by the home supporters - "1-0 and you still don't sing" is the chant coming out of their corner of Old Trafford, followed by another rendition of "shall we sing a song for you?" 

    Spurs have already scored for United - who are ahead without registering a single shot at goal themselves - so why not?

  9. Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham

    Nah. The wall do their job and block Juan Mata's free-kick. Strong from the Spurs defenders. Memphis Depay tries to side-foot an effort towards goal but it's cleared. The home fans have found their voice.

  10. YELLOW CARD

    Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham

    Jan Vertonghen goes in referee Jon Moss's booking after chopping down Juan Mata on the edge of the box. A free-kick in a great position. Mata and Memphis Depay over it...

    Manchester United definitely look better than they did last season but they won't win the title. We are all waiting to see what this Memphis Depay has to offer."

  12. Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham

    The home side get the goal and are on top now. Luke Shaw continues to bomb forward. Haven't really seen Memphis Depay get on the ball yet. The Dutchman manages to play a ball through to Ashley Young in the box, but Spurs get the ball away.

    The Londoners need to gather themselves...

    Manchester United celebrateReuters

    You feel sorry for Tottenham. Nabil Bentaleb, who has given the ball away already, is punished. You feel sorry for Kyle Walker. He tries to poke it away from Wayne Rooney but pokes it in instead.

    GOAL Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham - Kyle Walker o.g.

    Kyle Walker scores an own goalReuters

    Oh dear. Ashley Young plays the ball into the box from the right hand side and Wayne Rooney is one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The skipper gets his feet in a muddle and in an attempt to nick the ball away,Kyle Walkeronly manages to poke it into the net. Both Englishmen left red-face, Rooney for being unable to finish, Walker for being able to...at the wrong end.

    Tottenham are getting a lot of time on the ball. But they have to capitalise on that and get the ball in the net.

  16. Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    United trying to exert some real pressure for the first time in the match. Dutchman Memphis Depay hasn't been able to impose himself on the game yet. 20 minutes gone, no shots on goal for the home side yet. Four from the visitors.

  17. ouch!

    Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    Wayne Rooney (left) has been far less involved at the attacking end of the pitch than Tottenham's Harry Kane (right).

  18. Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    Sergio Romero called into action and does well, sprinting off his line to nick the ball off Kyle Walker. Good, decisive goalkeeping on that occasion.

  19. Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    Panic stations at the back from Sergio Romero, a bit of pressure and he kicks the ball out of play. Very uncertain goalkeeping from the Argentine, who lost in the Copa America final to Chile last month.

    Tottenham need to get a few shots in at him, see how his handling is.

  20. Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    First signs of what Morgan Schneiderlin has been brought in to do, getting stuck in to concede a niggly, little foul on Christian Eriksen.
