- 32' The referee calls foul for Luke Shaw. He receives a Yellow card.
- 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
- 42' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Benjamin Mee suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Bruno Fernandes.
- 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Edinson Cavani made 523 appearances and scored 70 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 71' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Paul Pogba makes it 0-1.
- 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burnley FC that had 347 games and scored 409 goals.
- 80' The whistle greets Marcus Rashford as he departs to be replaced by Mason Greenwood.
- 85' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 88' A tactical swap from Burnley FC — Jay Rodriguez on, Ashley Barnes off on 88 minutes.
- 89' Manchester United FC make a change. Bruno Fernandes trudges off to be replaced by Scott McTominay on 89 minutes.
