Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Europa League Round of 32 first leg between Club Brugge and Manchester United at the Jan Breydelstadion!
United topped their group to reach the knockout stages of the competition and come into this game unbeaten in their last four outings in all competitions (W3 D1). Club Brugge make their first appearance in the Europa League this season having finished third in their Champions League group. They come into this game unbeaten in their last 12 matches in all competitions, last losing in December in a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid.
CLUB BRUGGE STARTING XI (4-3-3): Simon Mignolet; Clinton Mata, Odilon Kossounou, Brandon Mechele, Simon Deli; Mats Rits, Eder Balanta, Hans Vanaken; Emmanuel Bonaventure Dennis, Percy Tau, Maxim De Cuyper.
CLUB BRUGGE SUBS: Matej Mitrovic, Ruud Vormer, Siebe Schrijvers, David Okereke, Charles de Ketelaere, Federico Ricca, Ethan Horvath.

MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: David de Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James, Bruno Fernandes, Eric Bailly, Odion Ighalo, Fred.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
It was a slow start to the game by United, but they steadily grew into the game as the half went on. Solskjaer needs to find a way to help his team cope with Club Brugge's quick counter-attacks in the second half. Club Brugge have looked dangerous when they go forward and Clement will be hoping they can do the same again after the break.
That's all for today, goodbye!
United do have an advantage in the second leg due to their away goal, but their attention now turns to their Premier League meeting with Watford before the second leg at Old Trafford next week. Club Brugge know they need to score in that game if they want to get through, but before that, they face Charleroi in the league.
