    Manchester United are pushing for that second goal but will be so aware of the serious threat Anderlecht pose on the counter attack. 

    As on so many occasions this season, United have been so profligate in front of goal - will they pay once more for that over-generosity?

    Jose Mourinho is holding his head in anguish as the missed chances pile up.

    What a chance. The outswinger from Henrikh Mkhitaryan has landed in the six-yard box and Paul Pogba got away from his marker. He has to hit the target from there. 

    Another chance for Manchester United. They should be winning this game. But they're not...

  3. WHAT A MISSpublished at 79 mins

    From the resulting corner, United should put the game to bed.

    The chance falls to Paul Pogba, situated free six yards out, but somehow managing to scoop his shot into the Stretford End.

    Poor from the world's most expensive player.

    Fellaini is picking up some good positions, driving from midfield, making late runs and causing panic in that Anderlecht defence.

    Even if he isn't getting the ball they don't know where he is.

    He has made an impact.

    United are camped in the Anderlecht half at the moment.

    Marcus Rashford shows brilliant trickery to get past his man on the left, but his whipped cross is cleared by Uros Spajic.

    Things you do not see every match...

    Antonio Valencia using his left foot to cross a ball.

    It comes off Uros Spahic's header and away for a corner, but Anderlecht manage to clear.

    Breathtaking last few minutes at Old Trafford.

    Still level on aggregate though. We are 17 minutes away from extra time.

    Besiktas have taken the lead on the night against Lyon, Anderson Talisca getting his second of the game to make it 2-1 and 3-3 on aggregate.

    Meanwhile, there's been a couple of goals at Genk. First, Celta Vigo scored through Pione Sisto but Leandro Trossard has just equalised for the hosts. Celta Vigo lead that tie 4-3 on aggregate.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now down in the box under an Anderlecht challenge...

    ...he looks to the referee, who tells him to get up.

    No penalty.

    Oh my, what a miss.

    Antonio Valencia's cross is met by Marouane Fellaini, who heads it on to a free Zlatan Ibrahimovic seven-eight yards out.

    The Swede, with all the time in the world, and you would put your mortgage on him scoring, hits it straight at Anderlecht goalkeeper Ruben Martinez.

    The Old Trafford faithful cannot believe he did not score there.

    Oh Rashford! He did so well, he stayed on his feet, but his touch was a little bit too heavy. What an opportunity.

    Marcus Rashford is through on goal after Dennis Appiah's error...

    ...he goes round the goalkeeper and has a free net, but  Appiah does fantastically well to recover and nick the ball off the United striker.

    Rashford screams at himself in anger, he knows that is a big miss.

    Finely poised contest.

    Remember, if Anderlecht score again, extra time will be out of the window and United will need TWO MORE goals to progress.

    It opened up for him, 18 yards out. He tried to give the keeper the eyes, he probably should have opened his body up and gone for the far corner but a good opportunity for Marcus Rashford.

    Big chance for United.

    Paul Pogba picks out Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a pin-point long ball.

    The Swede heads it down to Marcus Rashford on the edge of the box and with the Anderlecht defenders parting right and left, the United youngster drags his show wide of goal.

    Should have done better from there.
