Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of the Europa League clash between Feyenoord and Manchester United, brought to you from De Kuip in Rotterdam.
The teams have been announced! It looks like Jose Mourinho is giving Marcus Rashford another opportunity to prove himself on the big stage as the youngster starts while Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts on the bench.
3 min: A quiet start with neither side enjoying any chances. Feyernoord currently in possesson as their keeper Jones surveys his options from the back before playing the ball to Karsdorp. The right-back doesn't have any options on, however, and he strokes it back to his keeper. Fascinating start...
10 min: Feyenoord are awarded a corner after promising build play. The ball is whipped in from the left forcing Darmian to stick out a leg from inside his box and clear the danger.
11 min: Steve Berghuis springs into life as he drifts in from the right and shifts the ball onto his left within United's final third. From 20 yards out or so, he fires his effort into the far left-hand side corner. De Gea reacts quickly and gets down in time to save his side's bacon.
