There's already been two goals in the game between Viktoria Plzen and Roma. Diego Perotti put the Italians ahead but Marek Bakos has levelled for the home of pilsner beer.

Steven Berghuis has the first shot on target for Feyenoord, from about 20 yards out, but it's easily held by a diving David de Gea. 

The Dutch hosts are certainly giving as good as they are getting in the opening 12 minutes.

Dundalk winger Daryl Horgan makes a great attacking run but it amounts to nothing as David McMillan skies his shot over.

Marcus Rashford chases onto a long hoof forward for Manchester United, he waits for some colleagues to catch up with him but his pass to Paul Pogba is poor and Feyenoord win possession. A wasted chance.

No such early drama at De Kuip for Jose Mourinho's first Europa League game in 13 years. Manchester United, in blue, having their fair share of the ball but not creating any chances yet.

Dundalk almost trail within about 60 seconds as Alireza Jahanbakhsh cuts in from the left and crashes a low effort off the post for AZ Alkmaar.

And we are under way in, um, the Netherlands again.

We are under way in the Netherlands.

Dundalk players hold a huddle before their match. Captain Stephen O'Donnell passes on some last-minute instructions.

It sounds like Feyenoord fans are singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Former Liverpool duo Brad Jones and Dirk Kuyt start for the Rotterdam side.

We will bring you coverage of this game after the Manchester United and Dundalk matches end.

Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst, speaking to BT Sport: "It's a big challenge to be playing against one of the biggest teams in the world. We are looking forward to the game.

"We have some experience in the team but also players who will be playing their first game against a big team."

Marcus Rashford made his Manchester United debut in the Europa League in February and scored twice in a 5-1 win over FC Midtjylland.

"For me that was the start of everything so it's very important for me," the England striker told MUTV. "The fans really helped me that night.

"Whatever you think about before the game and how you imagine they'll be, it's completely different. That's the biggest thing I remember. They were amazing.

"We're in the competition again and we want to win it. It's a competition the club have never won and we'd be very happy if we can be the first United team to do that."

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's last game in this compettion was winning the final with Porto against celtic in 2003.

"It was my first European competition. It is a beautful day to remember," he recalls speaking to BT Sport.

He added: "We have to motivate ourselves. We have to understand this is our competition this season and we have to face it in a serious way. 

"We need to play well and for some of these players it is a chance for me to rotate. I still have on the bench Michael Carrick and Memphis Depay who deserve to play and I am still waiting for the chance (to use them). 

"I don't want to put any pressure or responsibility on him (Rashford). I just want him to play well. He is the main striker so, hopefully, he can deliver for us. 

"The grass at the stadium is absolutely beautiful. If you don't play on this surface go home."

Dundalk are hoping to become the first Irish team to pick up a point in a European group stage. Shamrock Rovers, in 2011, lost all their six games.

"Most neutral observers would think that we have very little chance of making it through when you consider the teams in it - Maccabi Tel Aviv, AZ and of course Zenit St Petersburg, who won the competition outright in recent history," said boss Stephen Kenny.

"They would feel that they ultimately are much bigger clubs and inevitably they would see it as somewhat of a formality that we would be bottom of the group.  

"I think we have shown consistently this season against good teams that we have been able to more than match them.

"It is our ambition to try to get some results and see where it takes us."

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is presumably tweeting from home as he is not in the Europa League squad and has even been written off as an asset in their accounts.

That's world champion, Champions League winner and eight-time Bundesliga champion Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Seven nights a week of televised football...are you loving it or hating it?

Alex Lehneis: You can never have too much football. End of conversation. 

Loudly Curious: Seven days of football is great - no longer annoyed to work late on a Wednesday because six other days to watch live sport.

AFC Harry: Honestly, it's a bit much but it'll only be like this for six European match weeks I guess.

Feyenoord v Manchester United will not be played in front of a rammed De Kuip tonight.

The Dutch club are taking measures for European home games this season in a bid to avoid triggering suspended punishments handed down by governing body Uefa for crowd trouble.

Tonight the capacity is reduced to 30,000 and additional stewards have been employed, while a 10-metre high net surrounds the pitch.
