    Partizan Belgrade 0-0 Man Utd

    The only previous occasion Partizan and Man Utd met was in the 1965-66 European Cup semi-finals. Partizan went through 2-1 on aggregate.

    This is United’s first meeting with Serbian opposition (including in the old Yugoslavia days) since the 1991 European Super Cup, when Brian McClair's goal saw them beat Red Star Belgrade 1-0.

    Good play by Slovan on the left wing with Vernon beating several defenders, but his cross is held by Rui Patricio.

    Chance for Wolves to level but Morgan Gibbs-White fizzes a shot just wide of the top corner from 20 yards out.

    The 19-year-old's strike in the qualifier against Pyunik is his only career goal so far.

    BBC News' Balkans correspondent Guy De Launey:

    A full house at Partizan Stadium is in full voice, singing the club's anthems and launching a cascade of streamers from the North curve.

    Partizan fans are known as Grobari - "grave-diggers". One English-language banner at the ground reads: pray for an exorcism.

    Manchester United should probably be ahead. Juan Mata whips in a fabulous free-kick which finds Scott McTominay at the back post. McTominay is only about six yards out but heads into the side-netting. The goalkeeper made himself big but the Scot should still have hit the target at least.

    Slovan Bratislava 1-0 Wolves

    Only Slovan Bratislava's Andraz Sporar (5) has been directly involved in more goals in the Europa League this season than Arsenal's 18-year-old Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli, who scored twice and assisted on his European debut for the Gunners last time out.

    Andraz Sporar (11 mins)

    The hosts lead and 20,000 children are delighted.

    Rabiu slips in a fine through ball to Andraz Sporar, who holds off Conor Coady before beating Rui Patricio at his near post.

    The shot took a deflection off Coady, wrongfooting Patricio.

    A quick counter-attack for Partizan, Takuma Asano takes on Aaron Wan-Bissaka but then his cross-shot from long range is over the bar. Wan-Bissaka probably did enough to put him off.

    Asano was a summer signing from Arsenal.

    Wolves are facing Slovakian opposition for the first time. Slovan Bratislava last faced an English side in the 1997-98 Cup Winners' Cup first round, losing both legs 2-0 to Chelsea.

    There's definitely a slightly higher-pitch noise from the stands than you'd usually expect at a European game.

    A quarter-chance for Slovan as Andraz Sporar throws himself at a cross at the back post but he can't get a touch. An eighth of a chance, let's call it.

    United are unbeaten in 13 Europa League matches since defeat at Fenerbahce in November 2016. But Partizan are unbeaten in 11 home games in European competition.

    Not much action in Slovakia so far. Left wing-back Ruben Vinagre goes on a good run but eventually runs out of steam and loses possession.
