C, external hris Harvey: Qualify for the Champions League and they automatically become one of the favourites. Definitely the Premier Leagues best hope.

CJ:  Well done, not a great performance but a win and a nice cushion to take to their ground in 8days

Job done for Louis van Gaal's men but it wasn't entirely convincing. Taking a 3-1 lead into the second leg in Belgium should be enough for United to reach the Champions League group stages though.

A real chance. Bastian Schweinsteiger heads the ball across goal and Chris Smalling should score. His free header from five yards is straight at the keeper.

It is easy to forget Brugge are down to 10 men as United struggle to create anything at all. Last minute of injury time and a free kick 40 yards out. 

Three minutes of injury time is signalled. United will take the lead to Belgium but is 2-1 enough?

Into the last minute and Manchester United can't break down Club Brugge.

Corner for Manchester United. Can they? Nope, the ball is cleared.

Club Brugge fans are getting the bird from the home supporters for their rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. 

Maraouane Fellaini heads harmlessly wide.

Manchester United are pouring forward but not creating a great deal... The home fans are pretty quiet.

Marouane Fellaini is brought on for his first appearance of the season for Manchester United. He replaces Wayne Rooney, who has been pretty quiet.

'Get the ball forward lads' will be the message.

The visitors' final 10 minutes has just got more difficult. Centre backBrandon Mechelemistimes a tackle on Javier Hernandez and receives a second caution and his marching orders. United have 10 minutes to play against 10 men.

Another United corner. Memphis swings the ball but Bastian Schweinsteiger is penalised for some pushing in the penalty area. Time is ticking and Club Brugge are holding on to what would be a tremendous result.

Juan Mata combines with Javier Hernandez to try and inject a bit of life into United. The Mexican's cross is deflected and the ball ends up with Bastian Schweinsteiger, whose shot is deflected for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Remember, as it stands, if Brugge beat United 1-0 in the second leg in Belgium they would be through. United could do with something special - and quick.

Here comes Javier Hernandez for Manchester United. Adnan Januzaj is replaced and the Mexican gets a huge cheer - as does Januzaj, who started his first competitive match at Old Trafford since February. United need a goal.

Into the final 20 minutes. Can United make the second leg a lot more comfortable?
