A chance for Manchester United to respond as they win a free-kick, some 30 yards from goal. Memphis whacks it through a crowd of players and Jack Butland pushes the ball into the path of Marouane Fellaini. He sidefoots tamely back at the Stoke keeper to mocking cheers from the home crowd. It wouldn't have counted if Fellaini had scored anyway, with the offside flag up.

"What a shot that was, an absolute belter. The goalkeeper had no chance and the Manchester Untied fans behind that goal are trying to rally their team. Boy, do they need rallying.

"Defensively, United do no look secure at all. You have to close it down. Where are the big boys? Time to stand up and be counted."

My word! Stunning goal and Stoke are running riot as Manchester United's day gets a whole lot worse.

This time, a Bojan free-kick strikes the United wall but Marko Arnautovic pounces to launch an unstoppable drive into the back of the net from 25 yards.

What must Louis van Gaal be thinking!?

Memphis is desperate to make amends. Too desperate. He tries to take on Geoff Cameron but just runs straight into the Stoke defender and the hosts break almost fashioning a chance for a second goal before the offside flag allows Louis van Gaal to breathe a tad easier.

Callum Anderson: Low confidence makes you do stupid, stupid things...as Memphis demonstrated there. Why didn't he just hook it out?! Anywhere! 

Sam Scrivens: Man Utd are so bad they make Stoke look good......Stoke ARE good. Bojan, Shaqiri, 1-0, Van Gaal fired.

"I am looking at Louis van Gaal, he can't do anything about that. I don't know what he is trying to do there, diving to head the ball back to the goalkeeper, it got nowhere. 

"What a gift that is and more pressure on the manager."

Oh dear! The absolute last thing Louis van Gaal will want to see as some shocking defending by Memphis gifts Stoke the lead. The Manchester United man tries to head back to David de Gea but it is far too weak and Glen Johnson nips in, crosses to Bojan, who sidefoots home.

The pressure has just been cranked up several notches.

"Boring, boring, boring" chant the Stoke fans as Manchester United embark on a rare attack. Those chants quieten down as the visitors win a free-kick on the left.

Memphis shapes up to cross but instead whips the ball towards the near post, almost catching Jack Butland out, but the keeper dives and clutches the ball.

Lovely stuff from Xherdan Shaqiri, who dumbfounds Daley Blind with some tricky feet not once, but three times. Ander Herrera steams in and goes in too hard on the Stoke man. Free-kick. Shaqiri sends the ball towards the far post and Manchester United clear, unconvincingly.

"Stoke have Xherdan Shaqiri, Marko Arnautovic and Ibrahim Afellay sticking up the top of the pitch, but Bojan is filtering around them. That is quite a positive attitude from them."

Stoke are the team with the majority of the ball at the moment. 

Manchester United are sitting deep, with quite a sizeable gap between Anthony Martial and the next most advanced United player, Marouane Fellaini, who is getting a lot of love from you lot today...

Manchester United fans making their views known about midfielder Marouane Fellaini...

A free-kick for Stoke, some 30 yards from goal. Marko Arnautovic fancies it and bends the ball over the wall and towards the top corner. Wide. 

David de Gea clearly never felt threatened as he opted not to move for it, but it didn't look too far off from the replay.

Stoke have started well, but it is Manchester United who have the first shot on target, Ander Herrera driving a low shot at Jack Butland.

That chance came after a dodgy backpass to Butland, the ball coming at pace and forcing the Stoke keeper to hastily clear under pressure from Anthony Martial.
