    Rashford as front man doesn't work for United. He was amazing in the second half of last season. Let's hope he finds his feet for this season's second too.

    Manchester United are ending the first half better than they started it, just about, but they're sorely lacking any presence inside the penalty area in Rasmus Hojlund's absence.

    Forest have been, on the whole, fairly comfortable.

    Diogo Dalot does well to beat Anthony Elanga to a clearance and send the ball back to Andre Onana as Manchester United continue to search for a spark here.

    This is a game devoid of quality on the ball and in the final third. Has either team got a player who can do something to lift their teammates and get some play going?

    Antony certainly hasn't seized his opportunity to impress on his return to the starting 11 yet - but he's not alone among his team-mates at the City Ground.

    I'm not sure I trust Antony crossing the ball into the box. Worst I've seen in a United shirt and I saw Bebe and Djemba Djemba!

    Sir Alex Ferguson signed a few autographs and posed for a few pictures as he was making his way into the City Ground this evening.

    The legendary former Manchester United boss is sat next to INEOS head of sport Sir Dave Brailsford in the directors box.

    They have both been present at far more exciting sporting events than this one.

    It hasn't really got going yet.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka takes aim for Manchester United, but he's closed down and his deflected attempt rolls slowly towards Matt Turner.

    I think that might go down as his side's first shot, at least.

    There are a lot of Manchester United players who can take a look at Garnacho.

    He gives his all every week in both defence and attack.

    United have actually managed more touches in the opposition's box than Forest (six compared to five), but Forest have taken five shots.

    United? Still none.

    We are so weak we are with Antony in the side, the balance is always off. And with Rashford up front there will be nobody holding up the ball.

    It's not been a thriller so far as we approach the half hour mark.

    The Forest pressure continues, but Nicolas Dominguez is unable to reach a deep cross.

    The TV cameras turn to Sir Dave Brailsford, Ineos' head of sport. What will he have made of this so far I wonder...

    He does well, Elanga.

    His pace gets him into the position. Jonny Evans can't do anything else and tries to clear it against him.

    Pressure for Manchester United to deal with. Jonny Evans concedes a corner to cheers from the Forest fans, but the visitors deal with it before Aaron Wan-Bissaka gets in the way of Danilo's fizzing follow-up shot.

    As usual with Man United I'm sat in front of the TV screaming at them to put a cross in the box but to no avail - Antony in particular seems allergic to doing it!

    Almost 25 minutes gone and United still haven't managed an attempt at goal.

    They do have control of the ball, but Forest are continuing to defend well and Nuno Espirito Santo will be rather pleased with how this has started.

    Jonny Evans was fortunate to win that free-kick, with the Forest fans responding with a 'Leicester reject' taunt.

    It seems a bit of a weird thing to bait the Northern Irishman over.

    He won the FA Cup with Leicester and left when his contract expired.

    I could understand it if he had been rubbish for them.

    A grimace from Erik ten Hag on the sidelines. It's not been great from his side so far but they are slowly improving as the half wears on.
