There's no Lionel Messi this evening for Barcelona and so far there is very little inspiration for the visitors.

The hosts look pretty comfortable and are content to try and hit Barca on the counter.

Nothing to write home about just yet mind.

It is a penalty. Marcus Rashford was onside, just.

Marcus Rashford is going to take this - if it is a penalty. Bruno Fernandes, despite being on a hat-trick, has handed the ball over.

Man Utd 2-0 Istanbul Basaksehir

VAR check to see if Marcus Rashford was offside or not.

Can I shock you? United have a penalty.

Marcus Rashford races onto a long ball forward and Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo barges him over in the box.

I think they need to keep the tempo up, don't think the job's done. Be professional, keep moving the ball quickly, make the opponents move about the pitch, should be an easy game for them to get over the line now.

I guess this counts as a shot on target as Demba Ba basically rolls the ball to David de Gea from 20 yards.

United have had 69.7% of the ball so far and have not faced a shot on target yet. Cruising.

IB captain Edin Visca isn't short of confidence as he drives a 40-yard free-kick over the bar.

United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka chops down Demba Ba as the away player comes forward. Free-kick to IB.

Bruno Fernandes is the third Portuguese player to score twice in a Champions League match for United, after Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Not much action at Old Trafford since Bruno Fernandes scored the second. United are in complete control.

As things stand, United top the group on nine points. PSG and RB Leipzig are on six points. Basaksehir are on three.

Nobody can qualify for the knockout stages today.

I don't know how the keeper has made that mistake, it's one of the easiest catches to make as a keeper. Alex Telles is looking for Edinson Cavani who goes under the ball, the keeper is the next player in line to catch the ball but he doesn't he makes a right mess of it. Bruno Fernandes is five yards out, it's a half volley but it's only five yards out. Man United can relax a bit now they should be scoring even more goals.

Bruno Fernandes has now scored five goals in last 175 minutes of play for Manchester United.

The rest of the United squad has one between them in the same period.

What a phenomenal impact he has had since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January..

Henry Ashman: This is the sort of United team I want to see play every week. Yes the defence is iffy, but 2 defensive midfielders just means scoring becomes almost impossible, so might as well go out to just out score the opposition

Ben Kellow: Bruno is going to be a Man United legend at this rate

Thomas Knights: So sub Bruno ay half time and wrap him in bubble wrap for the next game?

Pretty much all PSG until the opener.

But Emil Forsberg, Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer have all had pops at goal since as the German side grow into the game.

That said, Kylian Mbappe looks on it tonight and went close to extending the hosts' lead with an acrobatic volley.

Decent game this.

I put the Juventus goalkeeper and two defenders in my fantasy Champions League team this week so of course they've conceded to Ferencvaros.

I imagine a lot of the pre-match Club Bruges chat would have been don't give Erling Braut Haaland any space. Well, that's gone out of window as he is slid in down the left-hand channel and he duly slots home on his left foot.

The Norwegian is now the quickest player to score 15 Champions League goals - he's done it in 12 games, beating Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roberto Soldado's record of 19 games. He is a goal machine.

Over in Turin, there's a shock on the cards as Albanian striker Myrto Uzuni has poked Ferencvaros ahead against Juventus.
