    Abdoulaye Doucoure seems to stand up be counted all the time, he never hides away

    That's a really good goal against a United side which is buoyant.

    Watford have really gone for this from the start of the game.

    Now then.

    Has Abdoulaye Doucoure given Watford a chance of getting back into this? He plays a neat one-two through a static United defence and chips past David de Gea from close range.

    Into stoppage time.

    It looks like the job is done for Manchester United. When you've been conceding goals like United have and teams don't fear coming to Old Trafford, sometimes you need to grind out results. They were under pressure but rode it and got the second goal.

    That second goal has killed Watford's verve. Luke Shaw is off down the left, loses the ball and is down on the turf.

    Relax, it's just cramp.

    Man Utd 2-0 Watford

    Watford looking for a reply, but Phil Jones and Chris Smalling, who have both been excellent, smother the danger.

    Jesse Lingard then goes up the other end and his shot is easily gathered by Ben Foster.

    A very, very strange United goal. Good work from Jesse Lingard - he fires it across to Anthony Martial, it ricochets between him and Ben Foster.

    Martial then scoops the ball into the open net to get the goal Manchester United desperately needed.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 76 mins

    Man Utd 2-0 Watford

    United score with the first effort of the first half, and their first effort of the second.

    Anthony Martial is now replaced by Marcos Rojo, he looks like he has a limp.

    Earlier, Gerard Deulofeu was replaced by Andre Gray. Ashley Young will be happy.

    How's your luck, Watford?

    Despite all the possession and the chances, Watford go further behind as Anthony Martial bundles the ball in at a second attempt. Jesse Lingard crossed to the forward, and he was just onside before having his first effort stopped by Ben Foster. But he recovered well to lift it into the net from a yard out.

    The Old Trafford crowd are trying to lift their team, but they are still stuttering.

    In fact, they are being bossed by Watford, who have been knocking the ball around nicely.

    You'd be a harsh judge not to say they deserve a goal.
