    Andrew Mitchell: Major credit to Cavani there - where other players will jog out, he saw Rashford was going to fire the ball back in and was so quick to get back into an onside position

    Usually you'd make the defensive change when you're winning, not when you've lost your lead?

    But then I'm sure Mr Europa League Unai Emery knows what he's doing.

    Any call for football to be more like cricket gets a big no from me...

    That was a long wait for the offside decision.

    I am getting the same pictures at my desk in the media area as the fans were getting on the big screen.

    In other words, no replays.

    It doesn't happen in cricket. Surely the fans have to be allowed to see what the decision is being made for. It's not a secret is it?

    This is the thing about Edinson Cavani - there are three people that are offside, but Cavani sprints to get back onside, just in case the ball falls to him. The willingness to want to score.

    He won't get a better opportunity than that, the ball fell to him lovely.

    There is a nervous wait for a VAR check for offside and the goal...

    STANDS.

    United are indeed level.

    GOAL - Villarreal 1-1 Man Utdpublished at 55 mins

    Edinson Cavani

    Manchester United are level!

    Villarreal only half-clear Luke Shaw's corner to Marcus Rashford. He hammers a first-time shot in which takes about three richochets and lands to the feet of Edinson Cavani.

    The goalkeeper had already moved for Rashford's shot so Cavani has a practically empty net to score into.

    Scott McTominay works hard to have a couple of efforts at goal. He controls the ball and is well defended by Alfonso Pedraza. He keeps perservering though and has a shot deflected over for a corner.

    What would be the thinking there for them to not give a penalty?

    Does he get any of the ball there? He definitely catches Mason Greenwood.

    Manchester United's passing has been dreadful at the start of the second half. It has been sloppy, complacent and had no purpose. If they keep doing that then Villarreal will punish them.
