Greenwood comes in from the left and fires right-footed towards the far top corner, but he hits it high and wide.
87'
The corner is taken short and eventually Pereira delivers a cross from a deeper position, but it's punched away by Bizot. It was right in towards him, so he probably could have caught it, but he gets good distance on the punch.
86'
Chong shows a good touch before finding Pereira on the left, and he wins a corner with his cross.
84'
T. Koopmeiners gets yellow.
Koopmeiners is booked for a slight pull of Chong's shirt as he looked to break away in midfield. There was definitely a tug, but he absolutely chucked himself to the ground.
82'
E. Laird gets yellow.
Laird is booked for a foul on Stengs, chopping him down as the forward looked to lead a counter from a corner.
81'
Pereira whips a free-kick from the left in towards Matic, but Vlaar nods it behind.
79'
Druijf controls a high ball and lays off Stengs at the right corner of the penalty area. He steps inside and curls a shot with his left foot, looking to catch Romero off-guard at his near post, but the keeper reacts and makes the save.
77'
T. Ouwejan enters the game and replaces O. Idrissi.
Youth academy product Ouwejan comes on for Idrissi, who was electric in the first half and nowhere to be seen in the second.
Minute
Description
74'
Pereira swings at a shot from the edge of the area, but doesn't get a good connection and it flies well off target off his left boot.
72'
Midtsjo looks to set Druijf in behind. Jones looks to knock it behind, but a goal kick is given.
68'
R. Vlaar enters the game and replaces Y. Sugawara.
P. Jones enters the game and replaces H. Maguire.
E. Laird enters the game and replaces A. Young.
Another change from AZ, who are shutting up shop by the looks of things. Defender Vlaar on for Sugawara.
Jones gets a run-out as well, as he replaces Maguire.
And now a second United switch, Laird replacing Young.
67'
Greenwood sets Chong free down the right but the pass is slightly too far ahead of him. Chong keeps the ball in and pulls it back from the byline, but the angle is closed down and Wuytens gets a foot in.
65'
It's been less than ten minutes since I said a 1-0 defeat would be harsh on AZ... it's getting ugly now.
64'
M. Greenwood has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by Mata.
GOAL! 4-0 United, Greenwood at the double and United are running riot! Matic intercepts a lazy pass upfield and finds Mata. He passes to Greenwood at the right corner of the area, he comes infield and fires a powerful left-footed finish in at the near post.
A second assist of the night for Mata, a simple pass before a good finish from Greenwood.
63'
F. Druijf enters the game and replaces D. de Wit.
AZ make a change, Druijf on for De Wit.
62'
Penalty goal scored by Mata for Manchester United!
Penalty for United! It's all going wrong for AZ now. Clasie chops Greenwood down inside the area, absolutely no doubt about the call.
GOAL! 3-0 United, Mata fires the penalty home. He goes left-footed towards the bottom-right corner. Bizot goes the right way, but it's hit with too much power for him to get a touch.
61'
United have got their tails up now. Mata crosses from the left towards Chong, but Wuytens heads it clear.
59'
T. Chong enters the game and replaces A. Martial.
Martial's 50th appearance in European football is over. He's done very little during it, and is now replaced by Chong.
58'
M. Greenwood has scored a goal for Manchester United!
F. Midtsjø gets yellow.
GOAL! That might just be that, Greenwood makes it 2-0! Garner wins the ball from Midtjso 20 yards out and it drops to Greenwood, who takes a touch and fires an excellent left-footed finish into the bottom-right corner from range.
Midtsjo is booked for protesting to the referee. He was definitely fouled by Garner in the build-up to the goal, but there's no VAR to check it out.
57'
AZ need to score two to top the group now. They've put in an excellent performance tonight, and even this narrow scoreline is harsh on them.
53'
A. Young has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by Mata.
GOAL! Young scores, United lead 1-0! Williams and Mata combine down the left before Pereira finds his way out of a corner with a beautiful bit of footwork around Svensson. Matic then threads Mata in down the left and while his pull-back across goal doesn't look to have found anybody, Young fires in an excellent finish into the roof of the net from a tight angle at the far post.
Mata gets the assist, pulling the ball across goal from the left before Young applied a brilliant finish.
51'
Midtsjo's looping cross towards the back post from the left is headed up and away by Williams.
49'
Young's cross from the right goes over everybody but Williams collects it on the far side. Pereira tries to fire it back in but it's blocked and kept in play before it can go behind for a corner.
47'
Koopmeiners looks to bend in a cross from deep on the left, but it bounces harmlessly into the gloves of Romero.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 AZ
45'
No changes for either side at the break, and United get us back underway.
44'
Martial gets the ball inside the penalty area but Wuytens immediately gets across to stab the ball off his feet and behind for a corner. Bizot then comes out and gets a strong double fist to the corner.
42'
Stengs gets a shooting opportunity just inside the area but drags a weak left-footed shot wide to the right of goal. Sugawara might have been available for an easier shot if he'd seen him.
41'
Svensson bends in a nice low ball from the right. De Wit gets in behind and stretches a foot out to divert it goalwards, but can only touch it over the bar.
38'
Idrissi's low, right-footed cross from the left goes all the way through and trickles just wide of the far post. Romero was scrambling, and a touch from De Wit might well have had him in trouble.
37'
Matic finds Greenwood with a raking pass toward the right side of the penalty area. His cross is blocked and kept in play, but AZ don't break with any urgency.
36'
Midtsjo gets to the byline inside the penalty area and looks to pull a cross back with his right foot, but he loses his footing and it goes behind for a goal kick.
35'
Young gets the ball in space on the right again, this time from a good driven pass from Pereira. Young's deep cross is put behind for a corner which Maguire meets with a glancing header, but it's an easy save for Bizot.
31'
Svensson goes down in midfield after taking a ball hard to the face. He got ahead of Pereira to win a header in midfield then didn't move his head down, so he only really has himself to blame. He's back up after a few seconds.
30'
Tuanzebe slides a pass out to Williams on the left straight out of play. United had the ball in their own half under no pressure whatsoever.
29'
Pereira's shot from the resulting free-kick is blocked, before Maguire's teasing cross towards Pereira from the right is cleared away.
28'
J. Clasie gets yellow.
Clasie is the first man to be booked. A pass from De Wit in midfield cannons of Sugawara's boot and inadvertently puts Martial in behind. Clasie sees yellow for fouling him.
27'
Young plays a pass in behind for Greenwood to chase down the right channel. He does well to nod it back to Mata at the edge of the area, but he miscues his half-volley and it flies high and wide across goal.
26'
Greenwood comes over to the right looking for some space, and is immediately fouled by Wijndal. United are seeing more of the ball now, but they aren't looking like doing much with it yet.
24'
Garner looks to run at the defence from deep, passing to Martial on the right touchline for a one-two - but the Frenchman instead plays a simple pass back into midfield. Nothing develops.
22'
Garner gives the ball away to De Wit with a loose touch on the halfway line, but immediately fouls him to stop any counter-attack developing.
20'
The away side are still having absolutely all of the ball, and holding it comfortably inside United's half. They're having trouble finding a way through though, with no clear chances for either side so far.
18'
An AZ corner from the left is headed away by Young. Clasie picks it up some 35 yards out and has a crack with his right foot, but it sails over the bar.
17'
After 16 minutes at Old Trafford, United have had just 35 per cent possession of the ball. That's pretty remarkable. AZ totally in charge.
14'
Idrissi drives at the United defence down the left again before laying off Wijndal on the overlap, but Young sticks out a leg to divert the left-back's cross out for a throw.
13'
It's been a fairly muted start from the home side, just that Pereira run and shot from them so far. You can see why they didn't have a shot on target in the first match.
11'
Young just does enough to cut out a cross-field pass from Sugawara on the right. Idrissi would have been in acres of space at the edge of the area had it found its way through.
10'
Idrissi is looking bright early on. He picks up the ball wide on the left and comes infield to shoot, but curls right-footed into the hands of Romero as he aims for the near post.
8'
Idrissi plays an absolutely delicious rabona pass as AZ look to pick their way through, but United eventually get enough men behind the ball to deal with it. Young nearly plays his way into trouble by trying to dribble at the edge of his own six-yard box, but just about gets away with it.
6'
Pereira carries the ball forwards down the left as United attack for the first time. He ends up at a fairly tight angle but with no passing options open, he shoots left-footed and wins a corner at the near post. Bizot then comes out to take a clean catch from the corner.
4'
Sugawara controls the ball at the edge of the area, flicking it up and hitting it right-footed on the half-turn. He catches it well, but it's straight at Romero.
3'
Romero and Tuanzebe exchange a couple of passes inside the penalty area with Stengs pressing, before the goalkeeper slams a pass straight past Tuanzebe and out for a throw-in.
2'
AZ win an early throw-in up the field on the left wing as Young can't keep a high ball in, but they end up going all the way back to Bizot in goal.
1'
We're off, as AZ get the ball rolling.
Both of these sides are already safely qualified for the first knockout round, but United hold a one-point advantage over their Eredivisie opponents and will be looking to keep a firm grip of top spot.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): Sergio Romero; Brandon Williams, Harry Maguire, Axel Tuanzebe, Ashley Young; Nemanja Matic, James Garner; Mason Greenwood, Juan Mata, Andreas Pereira; Anthony Martial.
SUBS: Phil Jones, Marcus Rashford, Lee Grant, Fred, Scott McTominay, Ethan Laird, Tahith Chong.
SUBS: Rody de Boer, Thomas Ouwejan, Tijjani Reijnders, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Ron Vlaar, Ferdy Druijf, Joris Kramer.
The teams are on their way out of the Old Trafford tunnel, and we’re almost ready for kick-off.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this Europa League group stage match, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United host Arne Slot’s AZ in the final round of fixtures in Group L.
AZ (4-3-3): Marco Bizot; Owen Wijnal, Stijn Wuytens, Jordy Clasie, Jonas Svensson; Dani de Wit, Teun Koopmeiners, Fredrik Midtsjo; Oussama Idrissi, Calvin Stengs, Yukinari Sugawara.
Solskjaer does have Rashford on the bench to call upon if he so desires - but a draw is all United need, so it would be a surprise to see him risked. The likes of Chong and Laird will be hopeful of getting the call instead.
United confirm top spot, winning Group L by four points ahead of AZ in second. Solskjaer's side will be seeded in Monday's draw for the first knockout round.
That's it from me tonight, I hope you've enjoyed following the action. Until the next time, goodnight!
