    More defending from United and it is Lukaku who prods the ball clear. He hasn't offered much at the other end of the pitch.

    Seconds remaining now.

    Great work from Dalot to play in Pogba, who tries to put the game to bed, but his shot from the edge of the area is dragged wide.

    Rashford tries to flick the ball past Martin Montoya, but his knee catches the Spaniard and the United player is left in agony on the deck.

    United have not been as sharp in the second-half and their play has become increasingly sloppy.

    But credit to Brighton who have threatened far more since the break.

    Brighton have done enough today to show they are capable of nicking something here if Manchester United aren't fully switched on.

    Chris Hughton organises his team very well and have a goal threat.

    United have played in patches today.

    Juan Mata has come on to keep the ball. It was going to be Romelu Lukaku.

    Florin Andone and Anthony Knockaert's introducton for Brighton has certainly lifted the visitors

    Game on.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    Change of idea for United.

    Instead of Lukaku, we have Juan Mata coming on for Jesse Lingard.

    Pascal Gross

    Out of nowhere.

    There isn't much on for Davy Propper, so he flicks the ball with the outside of his boot to Gross, who chests down and shoots in off the bar.

    Ander Herrera with a tame effort at David Button from inside the box.

    So much space for United now.

    Ashley Young wins their sixth corner of the match.

    He then takes the corner and it is met by Victor Lindelof, who flashes a header across the box.

    Ian Shepherd: I'll say it time and time again. Rashford is the real deal. He's the England equivalent to Mbappe. Put him up top and he'll score goals. Frightens teams with his pace and touch.

    Unlike Jose Mourinho, who stood on his own in the technical area for long periods, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prefers to let others do his talking.

    Assistant boss Mike Phelan is down there just now. Michael Carrick also comes down from the dug-out on occasion.

    Solskjaer does get involved from time to time but it is very much a collective effort.

    Paul Pogba finds some space in the box and blasts over.

    The hosts are dominant and Rashford is running riot.
