Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Manchester United vs Feyenoord.

As a hordes of Dutchmen tear around Exchange Square, we're here to bring build-up ahead of tonight's 8.05pmkick-off.

And indeed, it could 'kick off' in more ways than one. A heightened security and police presence is out in force around Old Trafford tonight, even though United's 1-0 defeat in Rotterdam two months ago passed off with little incident.

Perhaps memories of the 1997 meeting between these two sides has lingered in the memories of tonight's organisers.

Team news and updates on the way...

First things first, the other game in this group...

Fenerbahce saw off Zorya Luhansk earlier, which has implications for tonight's match at Old Trafford.

 The Super Lig club's win means that if United lose tonight, they will be eliminated.

Here's how Group A looks, by the way...

Zorya, who United face in Odessa on 8 December, are out.

Feyenoord play Fenerbahce at home in their final group fixture.

Team news is in and, as expected, a certain £26.3m Armenian international makes his second start of the season.

And here's Feyenoord's XI...

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 19:15

Seeing as he's finally starting a game again, here's the Mkhitaryan chant that we thought we be ringing around grounds across the coutnry by now.

We're in for a few airings tonight.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 19:38

One man in United's XI reaches a milestone tonight...

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 19:52

Feyenoord are 11/1 with some bookmakers for tonight's match.

Even when you consider the statistic in the last post, that's good value, isn't it?
