“I’ve got to say that the first booking from Mata was absolutely stupid. But I think that one is harsh. Mata half pulls out of the challenge and Fletcher goes in for it.
“Mike Dean was in a great position but was so quick to get that second yellow out. A lot would say it was a second yellow but I think he was pulling out of that challenge.”
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Well, well, well. This is a real collector's item - a Juan Mata red card, and after 25 minutes no less. You have to say he can't have any complaints - just two minutes after picking up his first yellow, he cynically trips Darren Fletcher and referee Mike Dean has no choice but to send him for an early bath.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Do Tony Pulis and Louis van Gaal know something about the left-side of each other's defence that we don't?
Both gaffers appear to have instructed their players to attack down that flank. Albion's right-sided pair Craig Dawson and Stephane Sessegnon have been at the heart of their brighter attacking play, while United pair Matteo Darmian and Jesse Lingard have been charging forward at every opportunity on the opposite side.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Juan Mata deliberately blocks a quickly taken free kick, without having retreated five yards, and that's a clear booking.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
The hosts are coming on strong here. They win another free kick in a good position, Gardner curls it to the back post and Gareth McAuley sends a header across the face of goal, inches wide of the far post.

"United's best option is to get the ball out wide and then get balls in across the box, because they are very rigid and very disciplined this West Brom side."
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Dangerous ball in from Gardner but Martial turns it behind. West Brom coming into this...
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Ouch! Daley Blind with a high foot and Saido Berahino takes a boot to the face. Tell you what, that was only inches outside the area - good position for West Brom...
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Chance! Craig Dawson pumps the ball into the air, Craig Gardner makes a good forward run and flicks a header back into the path of Saido Berahino,who strikes his shot sweetly, but Chris Smalling is there with a vital block.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
A first moment of alarm for the returning Chris Smalling, as Saido Berahino hares after a channel ball. Smalling just about gets his toe to it first.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Manchester United have enjoyed plenty of the ball in these opening exchanges, particularly out wide as they look to stretch Albion.
As you can see from the respective heat maps below, the Red Devils (right) have been looking to heavily utilise left-back Marcos Rojo and right-winger Jesse Lingard in the opening 10 minutes.

I wouldn't get carried away with UTD finishing 4th... It's the same old story, win 3 games and suddenly we are the team to beat... But realistically we are likely to loose today... Far too inconsistent.

West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
That run of four wins in all competitions looks like it's done Manchester United the power of good. The footballing equivalent of chicken soup. They've started in fine fettle here, passing the ball around with real confidence, probing, waiting for that opening in the West Brom defence. Tony Pulis prowls the touchlines anxiously...
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
And now Dawson gets in on the action at the other end! Whipped in by Salomon Rondon, Dawson climbing all over Martial like a stepladder, but the referee sees nothing wrong and Dawson bullets a header over the bar.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Juan Mata makes a good run and plays in Anthony Martial, but Craig Dawson does really well to hold the Frenchman up and the attack fizzles out. United very much on top in the early skirmishes though.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
It's worked short to Matteo Darmian, who pumps it into the mixer, but Jonas Olsson gets a thumping header on it. Away!
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
A lovely pass from Ander Herrera to Jesse Lingard switches play - United have settled in well here, spraying the ball around confidently and with both full-backs bombing on. After a good spell of possession, Lingard wins a corner...
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Anthony Martial turns sharply 25 yards out and unloads the first shot of the match, but it's comfortably clutched by Ben Foster.
West Brom 0-0 Man Utd
Craig Gardner pumps it long for Berahino to chase, but Daley Blind tidies up nicely.
