34: We may as well turn this into a referee live blog. Juan Bernat is next into the book for a late foul on Ashley Young. That's five bookings now.
37: How has that not gone in!!! Oh the offside flag is up anyway.
PSG surge forward through Marquinhos and his pass beyond the defence evades Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria goes around the goalkeeper and David De Gea saves his tame effort to put it in. The assistant has his flag up late and it wouldn't count anyway.
Meanwhile, Anthony Martial is down and reciving treatment.
Roma 0-0 Porto
Edin Dzeko strikes the post after a nice bit of solo play. He collects the ball on the left, touches it onto his right and blasts an effort off the near post after catching out Iker Casillas.
40: Minor handbags here in Old Trafford. Angel Di Maria is racing to try and save a ball that is trickling out of play and Ashley Young gives him a friendly help off the pitch and into the ditch that surrounds it. The PSG players, somewhat rightly, are very unhappy.
44: A Manchester United counter break down and PSG come straight back at them. Julian Draxler leads the charge but is brought to the ground by Nemanja Matic, who does well to not go into the book as we enter two minutes of added time.
Jesse Lingard is receiving treatment after appearing to feel a muscle after playing a long pass. In other injury news, Anthony Martial appears to be okay.
Roma 0-0 Porto
Edin Dzeko went the closest to opening the scoring the other Champions League tie this evening. His powerful effort caught Iker Casillas out at the near post and cannoned off the frame of the goal.
Fernando had a tame effort saved in Porto's only effort at goal in a tepid first half.
45+3: Jesse Lingard has not recovered after appearing to pull what looks like his left hamstring. Alexis Sanchez, who was preparing to come on for Anthony Martial, is on in his place.
Manchester United 0-0 PSG
It's been tense, cagey and a tight first half at Old Trafford, perhaps the exact opposite that we hoped this fixture would be.
Neither side has registered an effort at goal that can be seriously filed as a decent attempt, they've all been half-chances so far. Perhaps the kind of approach you expect in a Champions League first-leg.
Kylian Mbappe took his time to grow into the game and former United winger Angel Di Maria, who is being booed by all four corners of the ground, has oddly looked threatening and ineffective at the same time.
Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford have looked good in spells on the break, as had Jesse Lingard before he was forced off with an injury in added time.
Rio Ferdinand was impressed with Manchester United's intent right from the start, but less happy with the service to Kylian Mbappe. "I was intrigued to see how he set up. Every player was on the front foot and showed their intention from the word go," he said on BT Sport. "They are rarely under pressure, this is great. If I am a defender behind that, I am seeing them kick the ball long to Kylian Mbappe, who will not head it, and I'm winning it back.
"He [Mbappe] had a star billing, but here, he's on his own. Given the ball away a couple of time. The quality of pass has not been great. There's moments where you know he has the pace to get in."
