    Manchester United 1-1 Club Brugge

    Corner to Manchester United. Memphis swings the ball in, Juan Mata sees a shot blocked and Brugge clear the danger. The hosts are well on top.

    Memphis cuts inside and scores and we will see that a lot. Brugge will start to feel the pace but they look a threat on the counter-attack.

    Maybe Brugge's struggles in England will continue after all.

    Michael Carrick makes up for his own goal as he slips a pass into Memphis on the edge of the penalty area. The Dutchman juggles with the ball, before cutting inside and firing the ball low into the net. Great finish. His first United goal.

    The visiting Brugge fans have gone absolutely crazy. They launch into a rendition of "are you watching Anderlecht".

    An early away goal could prove very, very valuable. There will be more goals in this though...

    Michael Carrick slips really. I still can't work out how he goes to ground as he seems to get his feet muddled up. Manchester United keeper Sergio Romero had taken a step to his left and couldn't get back. The game is like a cup tie as it is very open with United leaving gaps all over the place.

    Michael Carrick - OG

    Now that wasn't in the script. Victor Vazquez stands over a free-kick some 40 yards out from goal and swings a harmless-looking low cross into the box. Michael Carrick, the first man in a crowded penalty area, lunges towards the ball and prods the ball into his own net from about 16 yards.

    Oops.

    It's a good start to the game, end-to-end. I don't think it was a penalty as Abdoulay Diaby looked like he fell down. Januzaj has started the game very well. He is a talent. He has got so much ability and I think down the middle is his best position.

    A very open start to the match. United are playing some neat early stuff, although Adnan Januzaj will want to forget that. Step over, step over, sees him beat his man on the left but, about to cross, he appears to slip and kicks the ball straight out.

    Brugge hit back as Abdoulay Diaby goes down in the penalty area under Chris Smalling's challenge. Never a penalty and it isn't.

    Almost the perfect start for the hosts. Juan Mata's pass sends Adnan Januzaj down the right and his low cross is inches away from being turned home by a lunging Wayne Rooney.

    The teams are on their way out, but not before Louis van Gaal whispers in Wayne Rooney's ear... 'You'd better score tonight Wayne'.

    So here we do, all together now. Du du du, du du du du. - that is the Champions League music by the way.

    There is a real atmosphere building at Old Trafford - the sort of atmosphere that only a midweek Champions League match can generate.

    Not long now until that famous anthem...

    Brugge may never have played Manchester United before, but they have no shortage of past European pedigree...

    Fans of a certain generation will remember their battles with Liverpool in the late 1970's

    In 1976, the Reds beat the Belgians 4-3 over two legs to lift the Uefa Cup and then, two years later, Kenny Dalglish's goal at Wembley defeated Brugge in the European Cup final.

    Don't expect them to repeat those exploits...
