    29. Porro gets another good delivery in from a corner.

    Sadly none of his teammates seem to get on the end of it.

    As the Red Devils look to counter, Amad draws a foul from Udogie.

  • Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    27. Man Utd are all over the shop at the back.

    It seems like they do not know who they are marking or which runners to go with.

    Udogie puts a cross into the box and Dorgu chests it behind with no Spurs' players anywhere near him.

  • Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    25. Casemiro is struggling with the pace in the midfield for Spurs.

    As a result, he is having to go to ground to prevent breaks and, all too often, thhe tackles are poorly timed.

    Spurs are looking to press in the final third but Johnson is penalised for a handball.

    23. Mount is making some good runs into the channels.

    It is stretching the Tottenham defence.

    21. Tottenham seem unable to keep the ball.

    Looking to play a more direct couter-attacking style.

    Neither defence is covering themselves in glory so far but they could be there for the taking if they concede early on.

    11. Neither defence is looking confident currently.

    Whenever crosses come in, it is all very scrappy as they try to clear.

    Johnson gets in behind the back four and drives to the byline.

    His cut-back is half-cleared and Sarr hits a first-time shot but there are so many bodies in front of him, it seemed inevitable it would be blocked.

  • Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    9. Hojlund goes out wide looking to offer options.

    He picks the ball up but is muscled off it as it goes out for a throw in.

    It must infuriate the fans how often he goes wandering, rather than actually get into the penalty area as most good strikers do.

  • Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

    7. It is high-tempo start to the match.

    Spurs are looking very nervy on the ball, constantly giving the ball away with poor passes.

    The Man Utd defender felt the last touch was off the Spurs' man.

  • From SunSport's Dave Courtnadge in Bilbao

    They're doing everything to build up the atmosphere in the final minutes before kick-off... not that they need to.

    The speakers blared out 'Country Road' for United fans to have a mass singalong.

    That was after a lone bugler (or perhaps a recording of one) got the Tottenham end going with a spine-tingling blast of 'When the Spurs Go Marching In'.

    And now it's back to the Euro pop... cranked up to 11.

    This time they have 40 dancers in matching black and orange tracksuits doing some weird moves with huge cardboard hexagons to it, which doesn't make it any better.

    Let's get on with the kick-off.
