    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    Marcus Rashford goes on another run but is penalised for a tug on Christophe Schindler.

    Looked like the decision should have gone United's way.

    Rashford throws his arms up in the air, looks towards the linesman and screams, "oh my god!"

    Good lip-reader me, you don't wanna know what Jeremy Corbyn said to Theresa May in the Commons.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 56 mins

    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    A change for the Terriers just short of the hour mark.

    Chris Lowe on for Elias Kachunga who was on a booking.

    That double Manchester United change was not a surprise.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer just didn't seem happy with the Fred-Dalot combination down United's right and as they are over on the other side of the pitch, it is not as easy to get instructions across.

    I expect Young in particular will get forward quite a lot now.

    Marcus Rashford free-kick from the left is a dipping effort, but one that Jonas Lossl gathers comfortably.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 54 mins

    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    No messing around from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, doesn't like what he sees at the start of the second half and makes a double change.

    Off comes Diogo Dalot and Fred, being replaced by Ashley Young and Ander Herrera.

    Great strength shown by Paul Pogba, holding off two Huddersfield defenders then in comes a third in the shape of Elias Kachunga, bundling over the Frenchman.

    Kachunga already on a booking, lucky to escape with that one.

    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield are getting plenty of chances, they are not able to take them.

    The ball breaks for Elias Kachunga on the edge of the box, he has time to take a touch and set himself, but fails to keep his composure and slices high and wide.

  9. CLOSE!published at 49 mins

    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield outnumber Manchester United with three players to two.

    Laurent Depoitre takes a touch but has the ball pinched off his by Isaac Mbenza in the box, but the Belgian's shot is well blocked by the rather large frame of goalscorer Nemanja Matic.

    Huddersfield are getting the ball forward in rapid fashion, but Elias Kachunga's cross sails over David de Gea's crossbar.

  11. CLOSE!published at 47 mins

    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    Bright start from Huddersfield after the break.

    World Cup winner Erik Durm swings the ball into the box for Laurent Depoitre who goes for the spectacular overhead kick but miscues it wide of goal.

    Tried a Pele in Escape to Victory.

    Chisom Ilokah: Fred, this is a new manager or did you not get the memo? The era of sabotage is over.

    Babatunde Sakiru: Fred needs to be substituted for Man Utd because he lacks composure.

    Mike Sizzy: Take Fred out please, please ole.

    The change at Manchester United is remarkable.

    While we got used to seeing former manager Jose Mourinho stomp down the tunnel before the half-time whistle, head down and with a scowl on his face, incumbent Old Gunnar Solskjaer is totally the opposite.

    The Norwegian boss has time to smile for a selfie with a little kid - that's made his day - and then signs a few autographs before disappearing into the changing room.

    Manchester United will almost certainly go on to win this.

    But how different the afternoon could have been if Huddersfield could take their chances.

    Philip Billing has just blasted into the side netting after charging into the box on his own.

    No wonder the Terriers position is so dire.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2018

    Man Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    All going smoothly for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side so far with Nemanja Matic's goal the difference at the break.

    Oh deary me.

    Easy for Huddersfield to get in behind the Manchester United defence as Alex Pritchard picks out Philip Billing's run.

    The midfielder can cut the ball back for Laurent Depoitre inside the six-yard box but elects to shoot...and it is the wrong decision, plonking his effort into the side-netting.

    Marcus Rashford desperately wants a goal.

    Paul Pogba DOING SOME DEFENSIVE WORK by cutting out a pass and feeding the Englishman, but the shot lacks curl and is easily gathered by Jonas Lossl.
