90+3 min: Manchester United lift the siege on their own goal, with Wayne Rooney galloping down the field and heading for the corner, where he wins a throw-in. Ashley Young throws it short to his skipper, who stands over it in the corner as he attempts to run down the clock.

90+3 min: Juan Mata was booked shortly before Alli, for a foul on Ryan Mason. Moments previously, he’d been flat on his back getting his legs stretched while suffering from cramp.

90 min: Dele Alli gets booked, taking for one the team as he brings down Ashley Young as the winger attempted to break down the field on a counter-attack. There are two minutes of four allocated for added time left.

89 min: Eriksen shoots low and hard from the edge of the United penalty area and romero gets down to parry. He sends the ball straight back into the mixer, where it’s hacked clear by a defender. Edgy times for United, here.

87 min: Tottenham continue in their quest to find an equaliser that would not be entirely undeserved. They win a free-kick wide on the left and Eriksen sends the ball towards the edge of the six-yard box, where the ball ricochets off Herrera’s shoulder and bounces goalwards, only for Sergio Romero to get down and punch the ball clear.

85 min: Toby Alderweireld picks out Christian Eriksen at the far post with a wonderful cross from the right flank. The Dane catches the ball on the volley from a tight angle, but Romero saves.

84 min: Great tackle from Chris Smalling, who does well to dispossess Nacer Chadli in the Manchester United penalty area after the winger had been played into space down the inside left and looked ready to fire off a shot.

83 min: Luke Shaw is penalised for a foul on Kyle Walker.

81 min: We’re into the final 10 minutes with United looking fairly comfortable as they protect their slender lead.

80 min: Manchester United substitution: Matteo Darmian off after an impressive performance. Antonio Valencia replaces him.

78 min: Chris Smalling is forced to hack the ball clear for a Spurs corner, after Ben Davies had got in behind the United defence. Smalling was expecting his goalkeeper to help him out there, but no assistance was forthcoming. The corner’s swung in towards the near post, where Bastian Schweinsteiger clears.

77 min: Rooney sends the free-kick high over the crossbar. Spurs substitution: Eric Dier off, the 19-year-old Dele Alli on for his Premier League debut.

76 min: Ander Herrera plays the ball wide to Ashley Young on the left flank. He plays it to Rooney and sprints inside, before going to ground under a challenge of sorts from Eric Dier. Free-kick for United, about four yards outside the Spurs penalty area. Yellow card for Dier.

73 min: Wayne Rooney attempts to score with a spectacular scissors kick, gewtting on the end of a Darmian cross from the right. He manages to make contact with the ball, but fails to fire off a clean shot. Or indeed, any kind of shot.

71 min: Chris Smalling does well to tackle and dispossess Harry Kane as the Spurs striker was bearing down on goal.

70 min: Tottenham substitution: Erik Lamela on, Mousa Dembele off. It’s worth noting that with both Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado likely to be booted towards the exit door, Spurs have no strikers on their bench.

69 min: Bastian Schweinsteiger picks up what could be the first of many Premier League bookings for a tasty foul on Nacer Chadli.

68 min: Manchester United substitution: Memphis makes way for Ander Herrera after a decent debut. He started quietly, but got involved after playing a part in the creation of United’s goal. Herrera slots in to the space vacated just behind Wayne Rooney.

67 min: Sergio Romero is quick off his line to cut out a cross from Mousa Dembele, which was heading to an unmarked Nacer Chadli.

64 min: Bastian Schweinsteiger plays the ball wide to Rooney and continues his run into the Tottenham penalty area, where he leaps in an attempt to convert the return cross. He’s beaten in the air and the ball breaks for Ashley Young, who shoots low and hard through a thicket of legs, only for his shot to be saved by Michel Vorm, who needed to attempts to smother a shot he can’t have seen coming until very, very late.

63 min: No chances of note to report after a lengthy stretch of scrappy play punctuated by niggly fouls, substitutions and little in the way of quality. Manchester United won’t mind that - they continue to lead 1-0 courtesy of Kyle Walker’s first half own goal.

60 min: Wayne Rooney goes to ground holding his head under a challenge from Jan Vertonghen. There’s a break in play, which allows Manchester United to replace Michael Carrick with Bastian Schweinsteiger, who gets a rapturous reception from the locals*.

*Insert your own Home Counties joke.

59 min: Toby Alderweireld is penalised for a foul on Juan Mata and gets a ticking-off from Jon Moss. It’s all a bit scrappy at the moment.

57 min: Daley Blind concedes a free-kick - indirect, I think - about 30 yards from the United goal, well right of centre. Eriksen sends the ball curling into the penalty area, where Romero gets down low to gather.

55 min: Ashley Young and Kyle Walker continue their lively battle, with the Manchester United winger conceding a free-kick after a touchline tussle. Mauricio Pochettino adds his two cents and gets a lecture from referee Jon Moss. The Spurs manager apologises for his comments and play resumes with a Spurs free-kick just in front of the technical area.

54 min: Spurs substitution: Nabil Bentaleb off, after a poor performance. Ben Davies, who made quite a name for himself in the Spurs midfield last season, replaces him.

53 min: Ben Davies picks out Christian Eriksen on the left flank and the midfielder runs into space, where nobody can hear you scream. Spurs eventually fashion a shot, which is blocked by Matteo Darmian.

51 min: There’s loud applause as Bastian Schweinsteiger warms up on the touchline in his hi-viz vest.

49 min: Memphis shoots straight at Michel Vorm from distance, after some more neat interplay from Manchester United around the edge of the Spurs box. Again, they took the ball wide for working it back into the centre through a series of neat one-twos.

48 min: Toby Alderweireld sends a hopeful a six-iron forward in the general direction of Harry Kane, but Chris Smalling rises to head clear.

47 min: Not for the first, the second or indeed the third time, Nabil Bentaleb gifts possession to Manchester United just outside his own penalty area. He’s been very sloppy in the defensive midfield role today and Eric Dier, the man beside him, hasn’t been a great deal better.

45+1 min: Spurs go on a rare sortie into Manchester United territory and win a free-kick when Scheniderlin tugs Dembele’s shirt. Free-kick for Spurs, wide on the right, a good way out. Eriksen sends it into the area, where Alderweireld forces a save out of Romero with a weak shot.

44 min: Jan Vertonghen clears a Memphis cross from the right flank, but only as far as Schneiderlin. Memphis and Schneiderlin combine to try to get the ball back into the Spurs penalty area, but it’s left to Christian Eriksen, reduced to scrabbling around on the edge of his own team’s box in an attempt to get the ball, to clear the Spurs lines.

40 min: Perhaps it’s the sun-shine and the early afternoon time-slot, but despite their team’s lead, the atmosphere at Old Trafford seems rather flat, despite the best attempts of a few pockets of fans to get the place rocking a bit. Much of the pace has been sucked out of the game too, with Spurs attempting to slow things down a bit so they can re-establish a decent foothold.

38 min: Manchester United get the ball wide and then cross it back into the centre, where Morgan Schneiderlin attempts to dink the ball over the Spurs centre-halves and into the corridor of uncertainty for Rooney to shoot. The midfielder’s pass is a mite too weighty and Vorm gathers to ease the pressure on Spurs.

35 min: Having got over the shock of their setback of a few minutes ago, Spurs start to feel their way back into the game. No sooner do I type that sentence than they give the ball away again, allowing Juan Mata to unleash a straggly old shot on goal from distance. His effort isn’t clean and bobbles wide of Vorm’s left-hand post. Eric Dier was the Spurs offender there, playing a loose pass to Bentaleb, who failed to clear when the opportunity presented itself and let Mata in.

34 min: A bit of a lull ... move along, nothing to see here.

31 min: Bentaleb gets caught on the ball by Luke Shaw as Manchester United continue to keep Spurs on the back foot. Carrick picks out Ashley Young on the left touchline with a raking cross-field pass, but Kyle Walker is all over the United winger like a rash and doesn’t give him time to settle on the ball.

29 min: Wayne Rooney attempts to cross for Memphis from the right flank and Toby Alderweireld is forced to head the ball out for a corner. The ball’s swung in towards the near post, where Michael Carrick is waiting, but Spurs clear.

27 min: Juan Mata and Memphis stand over the ball at the resulting free-kick. Mata takes the shot, but his up-and-down effort hits the wall and the ball is eventually cleared by Kyle Walker. That goal seems to have settled since scoring and are turning the screw on a Spurs team that had been dominant prior to conceding that own goal.

26 min: Jan Vertonghen gets booked for a foul on Juan Mata on the edge of the Spurs penalty area, just to the right of the D.

23 min: Walker was unlucky there. A sloppy pass from Nabil Bentaleb gifted possession to Manchester United in midfield. Memphis raced down the inside right channelk before picking out Young, who squared the ball for a completely unmarked Wayne Rooney in the centre.

With only Vorm to beat, Rooney ought to have swept the ball home first time, but opted to take a touch, unaware that Walker was racing in and ready to pounce. Pounce the full-back did, only to steer the ball just the wrong side of the left upright and send it rolling into the back of the net.

19 min: Ashley Young switches play from left to right, picking out Darmian. He plays the ball forward to Juan Mata. With play back on the left flank, Kyle Walker gets tight on Ashley Young, smothering him off the ball as the United winger came into possession.

19 min: Nacer Chadli tries to play the ball over the United defence for Harry Kane to chase, but his pass is cut out by Smalling.

17 min: Sergio Romero comes under pressure and larrups the ball across the face of his own goal for a throw-in. Moments later, Darmian concedes a throw-in as Christian Eriksen threatens. The Dane is looking lively, while his Manchester United counterpart Memphis has barely had a touch.

15 min: It’s been a fairly cagey opening 15 minutes, in which Tottenham have generally had the better of things and created the only decent chance. Mauricio Pochettino will be the happier of the two managers,m but there’s not a great deal in it.

14 min: Mousa Dembele draws a tackle from Schneiderlin to win a throw-in deep in United territory on the right touchline. Nothing comes of it - as you were.

12 min: Spurs win their first corner. Christian Eriksen’s outswinger eventually finds Kane, whose weak header fails to trouble a United defence that’s looking a little shaky and vulnerable early doors.

11 min: Scheiderlin picks out Juan Mata with a pass to the right touchline and the Spaniard immediately cuts inside, looking for an opening. Jan Vertonghen robs him of possession.

9 min: Spurs attack on the break, with Harry Kane gambolling down the right flank. Luke Shaw puts a stop to his gallop and relieves him of possession, but Kane is tenacious and steals the ball back, before being shepherded out of play under pressure from Daley Blind. Goal kick for Spurs.

8 min: Spurs centre-half Toby Alderweireld clears an Ashley Young cross with a meaty header towards the touchline.

7 min: It won’t have gone unnoticed by the occupants of the Stretford End that their new goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, was a little slow to come off his line when Kane picked out Christian Eriksen. Meanwhile at the other end of the pitch, Michel Vorm is quick off his line to gather a Luke Shaw cross from the left.

5 min: Christian Eriksen misses the first goalscoring opportunity of note, floating the ball over onrushing goalkeeper and cross-bar after taking controlling a scooped pass through the centre from Harry Kane with an exquisite cushioned header. It was a difficult chance, but one you’d expect a man of his talents to finish. Good work from Kane too, who picked him out with a delightful pass over the United defence.

3 min: Spurs are dominating possession in the opening minutes, under a heavy press for Manchester United. Memphis is tucked in behind lone front man Wayne Rooney for the hosts, with Ashley Young on the left of the front three and Juan Mata on the right. Spurs are sitting very deep, thus far.

1 min: Spurs play it around at the back, prodding and probing as they try to make their way forward. Eric Dier is playing in the centre of midfield for them, having played in defence last season. Ben Davies plays at left-back, in for the injured Danny Rose. They’ve got Nacer Chadli on the left wing, Mosa Dembele on the right and Christian Eriksen in behind Harry Kane in the centre.
