FULL TIME – UNITED IN THE NEXT ROUND

The final whistle sounds!

United have won this 3-2. A great game and a great performance from Solskjaer.

United survive

United survive the free kick. Salah followed and launched a volley towards the goal, but it was deflected from Henderson’s net.

Is that that?

Pogba’s foul

Pogba receives a yellow card, giving away a free kick in a dangerous place.

This is Liverpool’s great opportunity, with two minutes left on the clock.

Added time

We are heading for four minutes of extra time at Old Trafford.

How are your nerves, United fans?

Cavani Carpentry

Some communication problems between Martial and Pogba there, after a good pass from Fred … United is going to kill here.

Cavani heads him against the post! That would have sealed it. Not quite.

Martial in

In fact, here is a final change, perhaps. Anthony Martial replaces Marus Rashford.

A possible concern for Rashford there, that he could have an injury. He goes to the tunnel.

Maguire’s contribution

Maguire has made some key headlines and locks in the last minute or two. Liverpool besiege United’s penalty area.

Solskjaer does another sub to see this?

Fernandes returns

He is a great player for United.

United needs to endure

Liverpool brings Origi and Shaqiri. They need something now.

United has to find the right balance between holding out and holding back an attacking threat. Wan-Bissaka’s cross recedes.

Is that the winner?

A brilliant free kick from Fernandes and United have the precious goal.

Beautifully run by the Portuguese.

3-2

Fernandes scores! 3-2 United.

Possibility of free kick

Cavani is dragged to the edge of the box. United with a great free kick opportunity here … can you take advantage of it?

It was Fabinho with the foul, who has already been booked.

United long legs

Salah has another shot and Henderson makes the save again.

The United goalkeeper let the goal pass through his legs but also made some key saves. United have been poor for 10-15 minutes.

More changes?

A loose pass from McTominay cheers up Milner, but Wan-Bissaka’s entry is well timed.

United can make five substitutes in this FA Cup match, remember. Solskjaer has a lot more to choose from. Pogba hits the goal but Alisson stops.

The calm before the storm

Fernandes is starting to get into some decent positions for United. An overshot cross made Alisson worry for a moment.

It seems like the game is on hiatus at the moment. Both teams wait to jump.

Goals left in this

Liverpool seems to be racing in this game now. United have lost a bit of form and rhythm.

There is surely at least one more goal in this. mane is reserved for a big challenge with Fred.

Necessary balance

It’s definitely tough for Greenwood to get him out, but Solskajer clearly feels that United need more balance in their game. Henderson saves well to deny Salah a hat-trick.

Tactical pinch

Liverpool have dominated the ball since United’s goal, and of course they got their own goal to reflect that dominance.

Greenwood and Van de Beek are the men replaced. Pogba probably now has a wide role.

Changes

Liverpool presents Mane at Wijnaldum.

United are about to bring in Fred and Fernandes.

Warning signs

This really is anyone’s game now. United look like a threat going forward, but they have allowed Liverpool to equalize without having played really well since the break.

Henderson saves from Alexander-Arnold. Warning signs for United.

Salah in double

United slept there in the back and Salah swept home to tie.

Costly mistakes in the back.

2-2

Salah levels for Liverpool.

United caught in the back and is 2-2.

United needs a third

Liverpool have not lacked possession throughout the game, but United is keeping them at arm’s length at the moment.

However, I’d say United probably need a third goal. McTominay doesn’t clear under pressure.

Silky matter

Cavani with a charming touch as United continues to offer a fair amount of threat going forward. Rashford’s ball headed for Greenwood, but United had to fall back.

United received a lot of praise from the BBC experts at halftime and why not. They continued that level after the interval.

Rashford Tangle

United seem pretty controlled now. It is key that they keep Liverpool quiet, amid the inevitable response from the visitors.

Rashford becomes entangled with Fabinho and falls down the slope at the side of the field.

United in the land of dreams

Rhys Williams with the error when Greenwood returns the favor and passes through Rashford, who had scored the first goal.

Can United see this? it would be a famous victory.

Rashford Clinic

It started with Cavani picking up the pieces in midfield and Rashford played fair, beating Alisson.

United have turned this game around.

2-1

Shaw hits a United free kick from the left, while Bruno Fernandes and Sadio Mane do some warm-ups on the wing.

And United scores! 2-1 and it’s Rashford.

Both teams believe

Liverpool start the second half. Both teams will believe that they can find a winner in the next 45 minutes … or else we are heading for extra time.

Lindelof with a good defense at the beginning of the half.
