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:
GOAL! - 20’ - Man United 1-0 RB Leipzig
Mason Greenwood puts United ahead! Fred wins the ball, Pogba runs through and plays the ball through and the forward tucks it away into the far corner.
14’ - Man United 0-0 RB Leipzig
Greenwood is penalised for a foul as he looks to run in behind and threaten the Leipzig back three. No real chances for the visitors as yet.
10’ - Man United 0-0 RB Leipzig
Martial breaks away down the right side and crosses low after a wayward pass from Upamecano. Greenwood can’t reach it though and it’s cleared before United can recover the loose ball.
6’ - Man United 0-0 RB Leipzig
A United free-kick is half-cleared as far as Fred and he curls a shot in at the near post, forcing Gulacsi into a good save. Moments later Shaw cracks in a shot and Poulsen heads it clear with a brave block.
3’ - Man United 0-0 RB Leipzig
Early possession for the home side, looking to get themselves high upfield and get Van de Beek running behind the two forwards.
