Follow all the action as Manchester United host last season’s semi-finalists RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage at Old Trafford this evening. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side enjoyed the perfect start to their European campaign, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at the Parc des Princes. However, United have been in indifferent form domestically, taking just seven points from their opening five Premier League games. 

Leipzig lost their star striker, Timo Werner, in the summer but have begun the Bundesliga season in excellent fashion, currently topping the league under prodigious young manager Julian Nagelsmann, having dropped just two points thus far. Follow all the action below:

FULL TIME

Manchester United 5-0 RB Leipzig

Incredible scoreline in the end as the Bundesliga side completely implode at the back. Rashford hat-trick, Martial and Greenwood get one each and it’s six points from two games for United.

GOAL! 90’ - Man United 5-0 RB Leipzig

Into stoppage time and Rashford gets another one! Martial does brilliantly, plays it infield and the England man batters in his hat-trick.

88’ - Man United 4-0 RB Leipzig

Fernandes wins the ball and plays in Cavani who scores, but he is offside. And he is actually offside this time, so it’s still four. Leipzig have totally collapsed in the last 10 minutes.

GOAL! Man United 4-0 RB Leipzig

Yellow card for Sabitzer, Rashford gives the ball to Martial - and he buries the spot-kick for four.

PENALTY! 86’ - Man United 3-0 RB Leipzig

Rashford fires a pass to Fred, he frees Martial in the box and he’s chopped down by Sabitzer - stonewall penalty!

GOAL! 78’ - Man United 3-0 RB Leipzig

Rashford again! He latches onto a loose ball, beats Upamecano and absolutely buries his finish into the bottom corner.

76’ - Man United 2-0 RB Leipzig

RBL sub: Kampl replaced by Kluivert.

Kluivert is immediately booked for a tackle on Pogba.
