HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-1 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
MISS! Once again, Rashford drifts in from the left and sets up a shot at goal, but his attempt is skewed narrowly wide of the right-hand post! He's created plenty of openings during the first half, but not quite been able to finish it all off.

Steele and his defenders play a risky game in developing play from the back, and the goalkeeper is a whisker away from giving the ball to Hojlund before quickly averting calamity.

NO GOAL! The VAR intervenes: Brighton keep their lead! Rashford had taken the ball just over the left byline before teeing up Hojlund's 'goal', which is now ruled out as a result.

GOAL FOR UNITED? Seemingly scoring his first Manchester United goal, Hojlund turns the ball home from close range after excellent work by Rashford on the left flank. The latter twice skins Van Hecke and then delivers an accurate low cross - but did he carry the ball over the byline? The VAR will decide!

Sprinting back into place, Reguilon uses his pace to avert danger, as Welbeck almost breaks free in the area and lines up a shot at goal.

Old Trafford has gone very quiet now, as Brighton dictate the tempo of this game and seem to have endless time on the ball. The Seagulls passing has been so crisp since taking the lead earlier on.
