Astana stringing a few passes together for the first time before left-back Yuri Logvinenko smashes a shot over.

That almost came back down with snow on it.

Now United have a free-kick, it is a long way out.

Mason Greenwood scuffs it into the wall.

He won't get the next one.

Jammie Hartles: I’m more excited to watch this United team play than the actual first team, and I’m sure other fans will think the same. That says everything about what we think of the current state of the senior squad

Luke Shaw has fallen down the pecking order at left-back behind Brandon Williams and you can see why.

One of the more experienced players on the pitch falls asleep, allowing Abzal Beysebekov's pass to go all the way through to Dorin Rotariu at the back post, but the Astana player pulls the effort wide with only Lee Grant in attendance.

A bad miss.

Another Jesse Lingard effort, this time 25 yards, dragged wide with his left peg.

Before tonight, Jesse Lingard had not scored for nearly a year and is now eyeing a second of the game.

The skipper looks up on the edge of the box but blasts over.

Mason Greenwood looking to work some room for himself by shifting the ball onto his right peg in the area but seeing the shot blocked.

Astana have offered very little, the United youngsters look confident and could get a few tonight.

Richard Falkingham: I'm definitely having a crafty sneak peak while in the office.

Why don't you lot put names on texts?

Lee Grant deals with his first action of the game comfortably, coming off his line to cleanly claim Runar Mar Sigurjonsson cross into the box.

OMG, nearly missed doing this gag.

It's ticked past 10pm in Kazakhstan...

...most of this United team should be in bed by now!

20,000 people currently doing this...

Goalkeeper Nenad Eric sprinting out and sliding to collect the ball is making me shiver.

You don't want to be doing that too many times on an artificial surface, it's going to sting in the shower afterwards.

The United youngsters are working the ball around patiently.

Skipper Jesse Lingard sets Mason Greenwood free with a pass through into the box, but the striker's drive is batted away by goalkeeper Nenad Eric at the near post.

No apostrophe in 'thanks' but apart from that, very funny.

Did he keep that Fergie mask from Halloween?

Lovely feet from United's number 63 Dylan Levitt, dragging the ball back and laying it off.

From the clips I have seen, he has a good passing range.

The hosts get an early corner but the United kids manage to clear their lines.

Closed roof, 4G surface, basically just an indoor kickabout with the lads.
