  • 25' Alex Telles is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester United FC tonight.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

  • 65' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Victor Nilsson-Lindelof.
  • 66' The Real Sociedad de Futbol bench stirs into life. Adnan Januzaj is withdrawn and Martin Merquelanz gets his opportunity.
