Manchester United vs Sevilla, Champions League - as it happened

6 mins: It could be a long evening for Ever Banega now. The Argentine midfielder has picked up an early booking for a poor challenge on Alexis Sanchez some 35 yards from goal. The Sevilla man will miss the first leg of a quarter-final should Sevilla progress.

7 mins: Thirty-five yards from goal it may have been, but the distance did not put Marcus Rashford. After his heroics at the weekend, the youngster fancies his chances with the free-kick and lets fly with an effort that nicks off the wall. The deflection has Sergio Rico all of a panic, but the keeper manages to across his goal to palm to safety.

9 mins: A warning shot at Manchester United! Or a warning head, if there is such a thing. Joaquin Correa is the first to meet Banega's corner from the left, and his unmarked flick travels inches over David de Gea's crossbar. The home side cannot give away too many more opportunities like that in their own 18-yard-box and expect to go unpunished.

16 mins: Are there nerves setting in at Old Trafford? After that Correa header, Sevilla have given United more to think about with a couple of long range efforts. Both Luis Muriel and Franco Vazquez have taken aim from 25 yards and although neither attempt has troubled De Gea, they've been enough to have the home fans looking nervously amongst themselves.

20 mins: Old Trafford has fallen eerily silent and no amount of Marcus Rashford stepovers can lift the spirits of the home fans at the moment. Maybe they've all just realised that if it carries on in this vein, we'll be here for at least another half hour later this evening.

27 mins: "They're getting closer," screams Ian Darke and he's not wrong as Sevilla threaten again. Pablo Sarabia is allowed to travel through the Manchester United midfield unchallenged and has plenty of time to find Muriel to his left. The Colombian takes over and tries to drag a shot across goal - which he does - to find the far corner - which he doesn't. Goal-kick to Manchester United.

Simon Peach will be getting some of what Frank de Boer got this week if Jose Mourinho fires up Twitter at half-time.

I don't really know what to make of this, but I'm leaving it here because there is literally nothing else to report.

38 mins: Much better from Manchester United! When you're in need of fancy footwork, call for Marouane Fellaini. The Belgian plays a slick one-two with Alexis Sanchez on the edge of the Sevilla box and drives into the area. Forced on to his left foot, Fellaini manages to get a powerful shot away that Rico does well to turn behind for a corner. 

42 mins: United are building some sort of momentum as the first half reaches its conclusion, mainly by fielding Fellaini further forward. The Belgian tries his luck from long range with a blaster that clatters into the face of Banega before Lingard tries to acrobatically swivel a volley on to the dropping ball. His misses, only to clatter Sergio Escudero in the shins.
