There will be three minutes of added time.

34'
BLOCK! Batshuayi releases Guedes over the top with a brilliant throughball. However, Guedes is too selfish with the ball attempting to power a shot through a crowd of red shirts in the box. Three Valencia players made runs into the box and will no doubt not be too impressed with their team-mate's decision.
32'
Rodrigo gets yellow.

7'
PENALTY SHOUT! Rashford does well to weave his way into the box before losing out to Piccini. However, he battled to regain possession before trying to tee up Sanchez.

We're underway at Old Trafford.
Let's take a look at the two teams this evening, starting with United.
Marcelino's side secured their first win of the season last time out against Real Sociedad on the road as Kevin Gameiro's first-half strike was enough. They will need a stronger performance this evening to overhaul United.
Valencia had a disappointing start to their Champions League campaign, which has summed up their season to date. Marcelino's men were unable to capitalise on Cristiano Ronaldo's dismissal as the Italian club won 2-0 at the Mestalla thanks to a brace from Miralem Pjanic. Valencia have to take advantage of United's lack of form and the pressure on their players this evening.
United did brush aside Young Boys in their Champions League opener with relative ease, claiming a 3-0 victory on the road. Paul Pogba scored a brace, while Anthony Martial also got on the scoresheet. The Red Devils need the mercurial Frenchman more than ever this evening to clinch three points from a talented Valencia outfit.
Jose Mourinho's position as manager of Manchester United is under grave threat after the club's defeat at the hands of West Ham United on Saturday. United were hammered in the contest, which saw the Red Devils slumped to their worst start of a Premier League season. The Portuguese needs a response from his players this evening.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Champions League Group H clash between Manchester United and Valencia at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3): David de Gea; Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw; Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini, Nemanja Matic; Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez.
Manchester United subs: Victor Lindelof, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial, Fred, Sergio Romero, Scott McTominay, Matteo Darmian.
Valencia subs: Jaume Domenech, Ruben Vezo, Carlos Soler, Kevin Gameiro, Denis Cheryshev, Mouctar Diakhaby, Daniel Wass.
Mourinho has made four changes to his side that was beaten by West Ham at the weekend. Rashford, Valencia, Sanchez and Bailly are recalled to the team, with Martial, McTominay and Lindelof dropping to the bench. Ashley Young misses out due to injury along with Jesse Lingard.
VALENCIA (4-3-3): Neto; Cristian Piccini, Gabriel, Ezequiel Garay, Jose Gaya; Daniel Parejo, Francis Coquelin, Geoffrey Kondogbia; Michy Batshuayi, Rodrigo Moreno, Goncalo Guedes.
The kick-off time this evening has been delayed by five minutes from 8pm BST to 8:05pm BST due to traffic congestion around Old Trafford.
Valencia have made six changes to their side for the contest this evening. Piccini, Garay, Gaya, Coquelin, Rodrigo and Guedes all come into the team. Gameiro drops to the bench, despite scoring the winner against Sociedad last time out.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has admitted in the pre-match build-up on BT Sport that he is "surprised" that Mourinho remained in his position, claiming that he is embarrassing the club in his press conferences.
It's goalless at the break at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Valencia. The Red Devils' struggles continue as they put forward a tepid performance in the opening 45 minutes. Valencia had the better of the first half, seemingly moving the ball at will in the home side's territory. Fortunately for United they lacked a clinical edge, but it was far too easy for Marcelino's men to find space.
United barely threatened at the other end of the pitch. Marcus Rashford had a couple of attempts from distance, but Neto was untroubled for the opening 45 minutes. Romelu Lukaku was a bystander, while Alexis Sanchez continues to look lost on the pitch. Jose Mourinho faces a crucial half-time teamtalk.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Manchester United are unable to produce a response to their defeat at West Ham United, drawing a blank against Valencia this evening in their Champions League Group H clash. Jose Mourinho's men failed to carve out a clear-cut opening, although Romelu Lukaku did have a couple of half chances in the second half, seeing two efforts well saved by Neto. The Spanish outfit lacked the quality in the final third, with Goncalo Guedes guilty of spurning several openings that on another day could have punished United. It's another underwhelming result for Mourinho, who goes into the weekend needing a victory against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
