Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Manchester United FC gets underway.
- 5' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Diogo Dalot has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' Rangers FC is showing some good football. However, Rangers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 396 games and scored 601 goals.
- 25' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' Connor Barron has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 46' The supporters are chanting for Harry Maguire. He replaces Matthijs de Ligt on 46 minute.
- 51' 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 Robin Propper suffering a number of foals already.
