Marcus Rashford has Vitalii Mykolenko on toast but James Tarkowski manages to stop thenumber nine in his tracks at the expense of a corner.

Merlin Rohl and Brennan Johnson have not worked yet. If you're playing on the wing, you need to understand your full-back. It hasn't worked for Everton yet.

Bruno Fernandes dinks the ball into the mixer but Everton deal with it.

United will come again, though.

Do you know what, that is really silly. There is no point diving in there.

Silly, silly challenge.

Marcus Rashford plays an outside of the foot ball down the line for Matheus Cunha and in steams Brennan Johnson to chop him down.

You get the feeling it's only a matter of time before United open the scoring here.

United's Kobbie Mainoo has been involved in the most duels of any player (five), while also leading all outfielders for times winning possession (three).

Senne Lammens makes a right mess of gathering James Tarkowski's high ball into the box but United manage to hook it clear anyway.

Think it might've been a foul by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, to be honest.

United are bang in control here but still no breakthrough as Everton defend well enough for what's coming at them.

I think David Moyes has it in his head about Jack Grealish. Grealish is out warming up. You get the feeling with his knowledge, he is a player Everton wants on the pitch.

James Garner finds Vitalii Mykolenko high on the left. He takes a touch and looks for a delicate one through for Thierno Barry but Diogo Dalot is well placed.

An xG of 0.01 from Everton in the opening 27 minutes.

The only way is up, I guess.

You can see it beginning to build-up.

On the left-hand-side, there's a specific problem that Everton have to fix.

It is Luke Shaw on the left-hand-side, overlapping Marcus Rashford.

Brennan Johnson has got to go with his man, you cannot leave him.

Everton need something to get the crowd going again.

A shot, a strong tackle. Anything.

I mentioned at the start of the game how the Everton fans were up for this.

Well, just before Bruno Fernandes' shot was deflected over a few minutes ago where neither set of supporters were making any noise.

All you could hear was the general hum you get when this many people are in the same place at the same time.

It feels like something need to happen to liven everyone up.

The crowd noise has dropped considerably as United get a grip on this first half.

They're starting to carve through this Everton defence.

You can see the quality coming through. That was all from Marcus Rashford. Everton are very lucky. That ball should have been on target.

It's all United now.

Marcus Rashford does really well to take the switch from Bryan Mbeumo. He rolls it across the box for Matheus Cunha to run on to but he drives high into the crowd.

You've got to hit the target.
