Man Utd 0-0 Reading
David de Gea only had four touches in that first half, one of the lowest totals I've seen for a 45-minute performance.
One of those was an outstanding save though.

Here are the Spurs highlights from earlier.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Level at the break. Somehow.

Wow! That is why we love this game. The first time Reading has been in the box. Really poor from United. De Gea saves the day!
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Nice United passing move in the box. Casemiro crosses and Wout Weghorst pokes a shot towards goal. It hits a defender and rolls to Joe Lumley. Good block, good save.

Paul: Once again VAR is not favouring United, it's like nothing has gone for us since the City game.
Johann: I'm a Newcastle fan but how is that offside, the defender played the ball and the rule was changed that if the ball is played by the defender counts as the last touch, no consistency, VAR needs a rule book at the table.

Despite Reading not being able to get out of their final third, they have been defending really well. Holding in there.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Reading almost take the lead! Abdul Rahman Baba's cross isn't cleared and Junior Hoilett shoots from eight yards, well turned away by David de Gea - who could almost have forgotten he was playing a game of football.

The corner comes in and Antony shoots over.

Abdul Rahman Baba is 28 years old and on his seventh loan spell away from Chelsea. Got a sneaking suspicion he won't go on to be a Blues legend.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Corner to United as Bruno Fernandes' cross is put behind by Abdul Rahman Baba.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Reading are so used to defending in this game that when they come forward they don't know what to do. A Royals midfielder can't find a team-mate so United come again.

Richard: Reading defender made a deliberate attempt to play the ball - surely that's a new phase of play?
Eteyen: Was that not a deliberate action to play the ball by the defender, just like Salah goal? So how is Wout offside? These rules change week to week it seems?
Kit: Super confused by the offside rule at the moment. Surely the defender’s intentional playing of the ball meant Weghorst was onside?
Ben: How is that offside? Ball didn’t go to him and was then headed to him by defender? Seems to me that they change the rules every single week. Either that or no one actually knows the rules in their entirety
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
A few United players argue with the referee as if he's going to overrule himself and the VAR now.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Bruno Fernandes finds Casemiro, who goes down under a Junior Hoilett tackle. The home fans want a penalty but the officials say no.
VAR has a little look and concurs. No penalty.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
It has been 34 minutes since Reading last attempted a shot in this game. It's only the 38th minute.

In my opinion, it is offside.
The ball wasn't meant for Rashford but he still took it.
There is a grey area at the moment though and it needs clearing up.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
The VAR call has not disrupted United's momentum. They come forward again but Marcus Rashford's cutback is cleared.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Dennis Viollet's record of nine in a row still stands for now.
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Nope, as you were.
The goal is disallowed for a Wout Weghorst offside.
