Paul Scholes is confident.

He just predicted a win by "four or five-nil" on BT Sport. Makes a change.

Manchester United vs FeyenoordKick-off: We're underway at Old Trafford!

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:05

2 min: An early opportunity for the hosts.

Antonio Valencia crosses and finds Paul Pogba who rises in the box to head at goal, but sees his effort fly over.

A purposeful start by United, at least.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:08

4 min: Another attempt by Pogba, but he loses balance while striking and blazes way over.

United have firmly won the battle for territory so far, with very little action in their own half.

Will this early dominance turn into an early goal?

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:12

They're having fun in the Feyenoord end.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:13

8 min: Lovely quick exchanges between Mkhitaryan and Rooney allow the former to dart through on goal, but his captain's pass is over-hit.

Brad Jones (yes, that Brad Jones, who's playing in Feyenoord's goal) rushes out and collects easily.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:15

12 min: Pogba continues his lively start, showing good strength to hustle a Feyenoord defender off the ball and win a corner.

The set-piece comes to nothing, but Old Trafford will be impressed by how their club's record signing has started this game.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:21

17 min: Pogba again. He rasps one from outside the box that's fizzing and dipping but just dropping over Jones' crossbar.

The ex-Liverpool 'keeper got a touch on it and, from the resulting corner, Carrick fires from range. Jones looks to have it covered but spills the shot.

His old Anfield team-mate, Dirk Kuyt, stops it from crossing the line.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:24

22 min: Why has Jose Mourinho been hiding Henrikh Mkhitaryan?

The Armenian has impressed greatly so far, his movement causing no end of problems for Feyenoord.

Still no breakthrough yet, but only one side looks likely to score.

Mark Critchley24 November 2016 20:29

25 min: And having said that, Feyenoord have the best chance of the game...

Phil Jones is skinned by Eljero Elia on the counter, the winger crosses and Sergio Romero pulls off two stops - one with his right foot - to deny the Eredivisie team twice.
