Manchester United vs Valencia – Champions League as it happened: United held at Old Trafford
Look back at all the action from Old Trafford
Manchester United remain stuck in a rut after a stuttering goalless draw with Valencia that extends their winless run and keeps the pressure on Jose Mourinho.
Background shenanigans, disjointed displays and poor results have put Old Trafford in the eye of a storm, but Tuesday's Champions League tie offered the chance to divert some of the mounting focus.
Yet United's worst start to a league campaign in 29 years would be compounded by a disappointing 0-0 draw against a Valencia side with just one LaLiga win to their name this season, leading Mourinho's men to be booed at the final whistle.
What time does it start?
The game kicks off tonight at 8pm at Old Trafford.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport 2. Coverage starts at 7pm.
Odds:
Manchester United to win: 3/4
Draw: 11/4
Valencia to win: 17/4
44 mins: Romelu Lukaku has had little to work off in this first half and United must get his physicality and pace into the game more if they want to find an opener.
Both sides missing that final bit of quality to make the difference. If ever a game needed a goal, this was it.
Lyon 0-1 Shakhtar Donetsk (Junior Moraes 44')
This one is behind closed doors, but Moraes won't mind, as he puts Donetsk ahead on the stroke of half-time. Lyon remember, beat Manchester City in the Champions League openers
HALF TIME: Manchester United 0-0 Valencia
Not the best half you will ever see. Here's a bit more about Valencia to try and get you energised for the second half (after that I understand if it's a struggle).
SECOND HALF: Manchester United 0-0 Valencia
We are back underway. Let's hope for an early goal...
47 mins: The end is nigh. Romelu Lukaku is playing on the wing. Or at least has gone over to the left. Anthony Martial now given the chance in a more central position
I'm not sure Valencia look like scoring, but then neither do United...
