    Man Utd 0-0 Everton

    That's why Jordan Pickford is England's No 1.

    Fred picks out Edinson Cavani unmarked inside the box and the striker sends a powerful header towards the bottom corner before Pickford stretches out a strong hand to turn it away.

    Everton are spraying the ball around nicely. They're getting plenty of crosses into the United box. Rafa Benitez is standing in his technical area shouting instructions to his players. He'll be pleased with what he has seen so far.

    Salomon Rondon had a great chance, the ball just doesn't fall for him. He goes to take it on his right foot and Varane was just able to get back at him.

    Three Manchester United outfield players - Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane are wearing gloves this afternoon.

    They've gone early. The clocks haven't even gone back yet.

    In it comes into the box and Michael Keane sends a glancing header narrowly wide of David de Gea's post.

    Free-kick to Everton midway inside the United half. It's whipped into the box by Lucas Digne but Anthony Martial is well placed to hook it away.

    Everton are growing into this.

    I've always wondered what Michael Carrick is listening to as he adjusts his earphones. Any suggestions?

    I think it was initially brilliant from Wan-Bissaka. He stands it up well and Anthony Martial jumps a little too early. He certainly should have done better.

    Babyboomer: Ronaldo, the best header Man United have seen for over half a century, sitting on the bench while Martial dobs it wide from 4 yards. Good pick Ole.

    DSSBrooks: My goodness that was rubbish from Martial

    Terry Urbanczyk: in answer to the text from Millsy, I think this happened last season at the latest. Maybe the season before. I can't believe Martial is on and Ronaldo is on the bench.

    Everton have had to soak up a fair bit of pressure but suddenly Salomon Rondon is galloping forward in front of the Stretford Eng.

    It requires a crucial challenge by Raphael Varane to stop Rondon from firing Everton ahead.

    A lot of questions have been asked about the Manchester United midfield in particular and whether they move the ball quickly enough.

    They have begun this game quite well, the ball is zipping around nicely.

    The question is, can they keep it up?

    And another big chance goes begging.

    Mason Greenwood fizzes it across the six-yard area but there is no one in red at the back post to turn it over the line.

    And bang on cue Martial has a huge chance but his close-range header falls wide of the target. Martial is seeing a lot of the ball on the left wing in the opening exchanges.

    Millsy: MUFC need a BIG performance from Anthony Martial today, people are slowly starting to lose all faith in him, needs to turn up. One plus for him is that he’s not leading the line this time, where he always looked a little out of place, Allez Anthony!

    Everton have soaked up a decent spell of pressure and are now looking to counter. Demarai Gray with a long punt forward for Anthony Gordon but he's overcooked the pass.

    A lovely exchange of passing between Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw almost results in the game's first real chance but Everton just about do enough.

    A terrible clearance by Jordan Pickford. Fortunately it lands straight at the feet of Andros Townsend.

    By the way, Anthony Martial is playing on the left wing.

    I just noticed Usain Bolt at the back of the directors' box during the minute's applause for Roger Hunt.

    In fairness, you can hardly miss him when he is stood up.

    He is becoming a regular.
