    "It's impossible how that has not gone in! I thought that was 1-0. Somehow the ball goes past the far post! It's a great reaction save but Herrera really should score."

    How on earth did that stay out? United fans think they have scored after Ander Herrera connects with Anthony Martial's pass in the six-yard area, but Thibaut Courtois makes an outstanding point-blank stop in front of the Stretford End. Astonishing.

    "Hazard needs more protection. Man Utd have played the dirtiest half I've seen for a long time."

    Eden Hazard is such a threat for Chelsea. He's been fouled so many times but it was his pass which set up Pedro earlier.

    Chelsea have started this half very well. They spent the first 45 minutes on the back foot but are going for it.

    Not one outstanding save but two from David de Gea as Chelsea come firing out of the blocks. The United keeper is at his best to parry Pedro's effort from inside the area before keeping out Cesar Azpilicueta's follow up.

    "That first half was what you expect from a United side at Old Trafford. The only thing that has let them down is the final third. They don't have a presence in the box."

    "Manchester United were excellent for the first 30 minutes. They were playing how you would expect a United team to play. Chelsea were caught cold. But if they can tighten their game up on the counter attack they can still get a positive result."

    That is one of the best goalless 45 minutes I have seen for a long while. United have come with an all-out attacking approach and have twice been denied by the woodwork after David de Gea produced a world-class save to deny John Terry.

    But United fans, who applaud the team off the pitch, will not be totally happy until they have the lead.

    "The life has gone out of this game in the last 10 minutes before half-time. Manchester United have just lost a little of the momentum they had while Eden Hazard has just started to show off one or two of his party pieces.

    Lack of goal apart, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal will be pretty satisfied with that."
