"Wow, this is the stuff of dreams. What a start for the young man. What a header, brilliant execution, and Old Trafford is rocking."

The camera pans out on those players who are on Manchester United's lengthy injury list and there's almost not enough seats to fit them all on.

To Manchester United's credit, their patchwork team is doing a solid job against Arsenal so far, arguably shading matters.

Paul Humphreys: I'm sat near the Stretford End and that foul on Rashford looked in the box!?! Was it?!?!

Afraid not Paul....

"It was a reckless challenge by Michael Carrick. He was never going to get there. He hasn't got a leg to stand on with that decision. A good call from Mike Dean."

Arsenal, as you would expect, aren't afraid to commit men forward. The Gunners are particularly targeting the United right, with left-back Nacho Monreal (18) bombing on regularly to support Alexis Sanchez (17).

Home right-back Guillermo Varela is already on a booking for hacking down Sanchez earlier - he might have to tread carefully over the next 65 minutes or so...

...Mesut Ozil takes the free-kick, hitting it low towards the near post where Alexis Sanchez has peeled away from the defence and gets a touch that takes the ball just past the post. It wouldn't have mattered if he had got it on target, though, with Sanchez having just strayed offside.

Still waiting for this game to really lift off.

Manchester United come forward again as Memphis Depay buzzes forward on the left flank, trying to squeeze past Hector Bellerin, but his touch is poor and the ball almost runs out of play, forcing Depay to swing in a cross that is far too deep to trouble Arsenal.

Moments later, Michael Carrick is booked after he brings down Danny Welbeck and Arsenal have a free-kick midway inside the hosts' area...

Ey up. Good news for Arsenal fans because Tottenham are behind at home to Swansea, Alberto Paloschi with the goal.

Not much between these two sides in the opening 15 minutes - and here's the statistical evidence.

I'm surprised Arsenal are not trying to test out that makeshift Manchester United central defence. Instead, they keep trying to go wide, with their latest attack seeing Alexis Sanchez managing to get a cross in on the left but it is headed away.

"I think it was a blade of grass outside the box, but Marcus Rashford's momentum took him so far into the area, that it's no wonder the fans were shouting for a penalty. A good decision by the referee, though."

Now we get to see Marcus Rashford! 

A fantastic burst of pace by the 18-year-old sees him charge between Hector Bellerin and Gabriel, with the latter sticking out a boot to bring down Rashford right on the edge of the area. 

Memphis Depay takes the free-kick, bending it low around the wall but great awareness by Petr Cech to get down and make the save. He'll have seen that late.

Not had chance to see anything from Marcus Rashford yet. That early run by Memphis Depay aside, the hosts haven't really caused Arsenal too much trouble in the final third.

"It was a great chance. An absolutely brilliant flick. Nacho Monreal's just got to miss the keeper. If he hits that as a sidefoot, it's a goal."

Guillermo Varela booked early doors for Manchester United as he drags down Alexis Sanchez. Needless.
