Nemanja Matic makes a great interception but ends up poking the ball into the crowd and the poor young woman on the front row gets hit, by the looks of it.

Matic comes over all apologetic and gives her a little head rub to say sorry.

Steady.

Valencia and Lukaku combine well on the right-hand side for United and the former Everton striker, who is built like a wardrobe, tries to bulldoze his way into the area, but he's stopped by the Sampdoria defence.

Then Mkhitaryan sees another header go wide of the target. He could have had three by now.

The last action of the first-half ends with Joe Gomez joining James Milner and Sadio Mane in the book after a fairly innocuous tackle.

We have a card-happy referee.

Pereira, of the Andreas variety, is set up on the edge of the box but he's got his head in his hands after he blazes well over the target.

It's all gone pretty quiet again in Munich.

Atletico look really comfortable on the ball and seem happy pinging it around the field to wind down the clock in the first half.

Meanwhile, in Dublin, Fabio Quagliarella has a decent chance for Sampdoria when he lofts the ball over David de Gea in the United goal, but his effort is a little too high.

And goalscorer Mkhitaryan also goes close when his header is saved.

Twenty two minutes played in this game.

Sadio Mane somehow squeezes a ball into the box whilst balancing on the byeline, under pressure from the Atletico defence, but no one was ready to meet it.

Thirty minutes gone in Munich and no goals to report.

Right-back Sime Vrsalijko finds himself in a dangerous position in the Liverpool box but Joe Gomez is able to clear for a Atletico throw-in.

The crowd are doing a Mexican wave. It's been that good so far...

INDIRECT FREE-KICK ALERT.

Man, I love these. It's awarded after David de Gea scrambles to divert away Blind's backpass.

The United bodies hold firm and it's cleared.

It's Sadio Mane, who was brilliant last night against Bayern, who gets booked after raising his hands to an opponent's face.

Guys, it's a friendly. Chill out.

The referee is having a stern word with a rather angry Emre Can, telling him to calm down after making a rash challenge.

Can continues to gob off for a bit before walking away.

Meanwhile, Keidi Bare is on the edge of the area and tries to go for a first-time volley but it ends up going miles over.

Manchester United playing Sampdoria in Dublin sounds a little strange, but the crowd tonight looks fantastic.

Cracking stadium, the Aviva.

Mkhitaryan makes a decent run up the right channel as United go on the attack, but his endeavors come to nothing.

Adam Lallana sends over a lovely cross to Ben Woodburn, and the Liverpool youngster goes for the mid-air volley with his right foot.

His effort goes just wide of the target.

Man United's final pre-season game of 2017...is...GO.

Nemanja Matic is sporting a red United shirt for the first time. He looks pretty happy about it.

Oooh, I take that back. Dominic Solanke has a brilliant chance to head home for Liverpool but he can't quite get enough on it and it glances wide.

Great ball in from Ben Woodburn, too.

It's been a very quiet opening 10 minutes in Munich.

Atletico, playing in yellow, have enjoyed a decent spell in the last few minutes. Angel Correra tries to send Luciano Vietto on goal but the Liverpool defence get in the way.

Apart from that, zip all to report.
