    Very lively atmos inside the ground now, all involved can feel how important this last 15 minutes is. Stick or bust?

    Angel Gomes does ever so well - he wins the challenge with Rodri. The ball eventually fell to Mason Greenwood who played the perfect weight of pass to Marcus Rashford.

    There must be a thought of getting Anthony Martial on now, of trying to get another goal. I think at 3-1 it's still tie over.

    Just like that City attack with intent though, Raheem Sterling gets into the area on the left and stands it up, Riyad Mahrez shoots on the bounce and it's straight at David de Gea.

    GOAL - Manchester United 1-3 Manchester Citypublished at 70 mins

    Marcus Rashford

    Hello!

    It's a start, and it's a very good goal too. Mason Greenwood's through ball is perfect, Marcus Rashford is so quick, he glides past Nico Otamendi all so easily and then just casually slides the ball wide of Claudio Bravo and in.

    Tidy finish. Get one more and well, anything could happen...

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 69 mins

    Manchester United 0-3 Manchester City

    That's a really good save, credit where it's due. Riyad Mahrez, at his best tonight, runs at Brandon Williams and beats him, he hits a low shot towards the far corner and David de Gea is at full stretch to kick it out. Great stop.

    Rodri gives the ball away and while City clear it up easily enough it enrages Pep Guardiola, who comes 10-15 yards out of his technical area to berate his Spanish midfielder. Fuming.

    You're 3-0 up away from home Pep!

    I actually find it quite sad to see United like this. Growing up with them in the 90s and 00s was frustrating as an opposing fan but they were so good. They are now clueless. Totally devoid of a plan with a very poor squad. Ole looks like a rabbit in headlights. I'll be amazed if he sees out the season.

    Kev, Oxon.

    The easy option is to blame Ole. The fact he is having to pick the likes of Jones, Pereira, Matic, Fred and Lingard indicates just how poor the recruitment has been over the last 10 years.

    City come away down their left, Raheem Sterling eats up the grass and lays it back, Ilkay Gundogan hits a shot but it's tame.

    Marcus Rashford takes it - over the wall and into Row D of the Stretford End.

    Daniel James is then replaced by Angel Gomes.

    Manchester United 0-3 Manchester City

    Here's a chance to lift the gloom for the home fans as Rodri trips up Andreas Pereira and goes into the book. Free-kick pretty central, Beckham territory.

    Marcus Rashford to take.

    I'm not suggesting a managerial change is on the cards at Old Trafford but if there was it would be one of the biggest jobs I can remember in football. Massive. Where would you even start?

    Raheem Sterling is nearly in on goal and nearly has a penalty shout but referee Mike Dean instead penalises him for a shirt tug on Nemanja Matic.

    If there was a BBC Five Live 6-0-6 tonight... every game United lose it's "Ole out" from the callers. It would have been the same tonight.

    Into the last two hours of this tie now. A United goal is needed next, and fast, to try and turn the pendulum their way.

    You never know. Sometimes you may know to be fair.

    Hmmmm. Trying to think who would get a game at Leicester.

    Hmmmm.

    I really have run out of superlatives to describe this United side, so let's keep it simple. Not one of the starting XI tonight would hold down a regular place at Liverpool, Leicester or City. And as for Lingard and Jones? Championship players at best. Rubbish, the lot of them.

    Ady, Leicester

    Wave upon wave of City pressure now. They are streets ahead, every pass finds a man, cuts through the lines, so many options for the man on the ball. Sergio Aguero may struggle to get a game at this rate, this system has worked a treat.

  17. CLOSE!published at 54 mins

    Manchester United 0-3 Manchester City

    City corner, half cleared to Benjamin Mendy who lifts a great ball to the back stick. Riyad Mahrez brings it down nicely and thrashes a ball across goal - into the near post in fact. Was trying to cut it back I think.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 53 mins

    No yellow card for Fernandinho for one of his 'tactical' fouls on halfway but Fred gets one moments later for bringing down his man in midfield. The home crowd do not like that.

    I think a few people at Manchester United may have been lulled into thinking they were better than they are by that win at Manchester City last month.

    The first-half looked far more like a true representation of the huge gulf in class.

    Evidently, United have some good attacking players but they lack invention in midfield and cool heads at the back when things are going against them.
