Danny Welbeck is caught by Luke Shaw but the referee plays advantage with Julio Enciso onto the loose ball. He goes for the far corner from just outside the area but his shot goes wide.

Great work from Julio Enciso, who plays a superb ball to put Alexis Mac Allister into space 25 yards from goal. Mac Allister sees space at David de Gea's far corner so tries to drive in from distance but ends up shooting well wide.

A nicely worked corner by Manchester United is played low into the box to Antony. He mis-hits his shot but that makes it awkward for Jason Steele and the ball bounces off his arm with the Brighton goalkeeper caught a bit unaware by it.

Excellent work from Marcus Rashford as he nudges the ball away from Moisés Caicedo inside the box but his shot at the near post is pushed behind by Jason Steele. Good save.

Oof! Casemiro is not far off with a header as he rises to meet a cross from the right but nods over the bar.

This half is flying by. It has been really entertaining with plenty of good chances.

Bruno Fernandes plays a great ball over the top and for a moment Marcus Rashford appears to be in but he can't control the ball with his first touch and Jason Steele is off his line quickly to gather.

Manchester United work the ball really well down the left and Antony is able to shoot on his favoured left foot but sweeps into the sidenetting.

He had a good view of it, Andre Marriner, and he made a quick decision. There is a coming together but there's not enough there for a penalty.

Kaoru Mitoma has been a real menace but he goes to ground far too easily inside the box and the referee waves away shouts for a penalty.

Manchester United then break quickly and win a corner as Marcus Rashford's shot at the near post is blocked, but the set piece comes to nothing.

Manchester United had that big early chance for Antony but Brighton are pushing them back now, putting them under real pressure in possession at the back. Kaoru Mitoma is already giving Aaron Wan Bissaka problems and the home crowd are right in the game.

Another chance for the hosts as Adam Webster heads at David de Gea following a corner.

A quarter of an hour gone, no goals but a couple of really good chances for both sides. Feels highly unlikely this will end goalless.

Kaoru Mitoma has been very lively so far and he shows great close control inside the box to work a bit of space and places his shot just wide of the far post.

Billy Gilmour is onto a heavy touch by Casemiro and Julio Enciso - brilliant against Wolves at the weekend - but he loses the ball on the edge of the area.

An entertaining start to this game.

David de Gea is continuing but looks a tad groggy as he recovers from that really powerful shot from close range.

Fortunately for the Manchester United goalkeeper the ball is at the other end of the pitch as a really good attack ends with Bruno Fernandes smashing well over.
