I think we’ll wrap this blog up now. The match report should be along shortly. Thanks for reading. Goodbye.

Elsewhere, Hull just about clung on:

Otherwise, that was a pretty good display by Louis van Gaal’s team. They were abysmal for 40 minutes, but then scored a very nice goal, and then showed glimpses of excellence in the second half. Rooney, Martial and Rashford all played well, and United were much too strong for Bournemouth, who didn’t threaten much. Fifth place for the hosts, who secure a spot in the Europa League group stages.

What a disappointment for David De Gea: he won’t be sharing the Golden Glove with Petr Cech. Gradel, who replaced Pugh earlier, raced into the box, fired it across, Bournemouth got a lucky ricochet and Smalling, facing his own goal, diverted it past his Spanish team-mate. A consolation for Bournemouth, but an irritation for Man United.

90 min: Memphis swishes one into the stand from 30 yards. Three minutes of stoppage time.

89 min: Another assist from Wayne Rooney: he clipped one over the top, Young ran through as Bournemouth tried to play offside, and although Federici tried to block, it slipped past him and trickled over the line. It was a tight offside call, but probably the right decision: Young looked level.

84 min: Lingard with a chance at the edge of the box, but he took too long, and the chance is lost. Now Bournemouth attack, and win a corner. Played short, and then Cook with an overhead kick! A more than decent attempt, but just too high.

82 min: United happy to retain possession. And then Memphis with a chance! Free in the box eight yards out, but he completely misses his header! Actually he was offside. By miles. It wouldn’t have counted. Anthony Martial’s Premier League season is done, and Ashley Young is on in his place.

79 min: Bournemouth haven’t really been able to muster a response. Man United well on top.

78 min: Now Rashford is replaced to warm applause from the Old Trafford fans. He’s been terrific. On in his stead in Memphis Depay. Meantime, Callum Wilson makes way for Lewis Grabban.

76 min: Ander Herrera is on for Juan Mata.

75 min: Rooney played another lovely, raking pass for Valencia, and this time his control was excellent: his nod-back was cushioned to perfection, and Rashford just smacked one past Federici from 18 yards. Great long ball, lovely headed pass from Valencia, and the finish was excellent. Another very nice Man United goal.

73 min: Wilson puts the ball in the back of the net from a long ball forward, but the flag had long been raised. Wilson was clearly off: another good decision by the officials.

71 min: Mata looks long for Rashford, but Francis is quickly across, and it’s through to Federici. Now Rashford escapes through the middle, and the goalie might have come for that, but chooses to stay home, and it was probably the right decision: Rashford’s touch just took him too wide, and the chance is lost.

69 min: Another penalty shout for United, but Moss says no again, and that’s the right call: Daniels won the ball cleanly from Lingard. Excellent decision.

67 min: Benik Afobe replaces Josh King, who’s been quiet. Bournemouth free kick, but it’s straight through to De Gea.

66 min: Mata is booked after tripping Wilson as Bournemouth broke. That seems a bit harsh; there wasn’t much in it.

64 min: Lee Dixon is extremely quick to praise Marcus Rashford’s work off the ball. He’s had little to work with today, but he doesn’t half make some intelligent runs. And the dummy for the goal was sublime.

62 min: Man United definitely playing with more verve. And Mata works Federici after completely befuddling Cook on the edge of the box. Unfortunately it was on his right foot, and ergo, not powerful or accurate enough to find the net.

60 min: Federici will be OK. Smalling attacks Blind’s corner, but heads it wide! Decent chance. Maybe Francis and Elphick just about put him off.

59 min: Oh, that was nearly two! Rashford skinned Daniels, the ball bobbled around in the penalty area, and Lingard tried to place it … just wide! Deflected, and it’s a corner. Cleared, and then what a hit from Valencia! Great save from Federici: Valencia absolutely leathered that from 25 yards, and it was heading it. Top stop from the keeper, but now he’s hurt himself.

57 min: Super cross by Borthwick-Jackson, and everyone missed it! What a fantastic ball. But no one attacked it!

55 min: Great effort from Carrick. I think it took a deflection, which deceived Federici, but Carrick really laced it, and it clonked flush off the bar. At the other end, Bournemouth try something different from a free kick, but Gosling’s ball is overhit, and he looks suitably embarrassed.

53 min: This second half has been enlivened by an increase in intensity. Martial runs at Francis and wins the corner. United take it short, Borthwick-Jackson feeds Carrick, and Carrick smacks the crossbar from distance! What an effort! So unlucky: Federici was beaten.

51 min: I think Cook got extremely lucky there: Mata raced into the box from Martial’s pass, pirouetted to sort his feet out, and Cook just seemed to take his leg from behind. Jon Moss took a long look, but then said no. It looked pretty clear. United unlucky.

50 min: Oh, that’s a penalty, surely? Cook on Mata – but ref Jon Moss says no! I’d love to see that again: that looked like a foul.

48 min: Gosling is free on the edge of the box … but it’s high! King did well to worry Blind on the right side, fed Ritchie, and then Surman, and then Gosling arrived late, but his left-foot shot was off target. Decent chance, but it fell to him on his wrong foot, really.

I think Rooney’s opener was Manchester United’s first shot on goal. Efficiency!

The Rams are clawing their way back from the brink. Follow it here:

As it stands, United would finish fifth, and would go straight into the Europa League group stage rather than playing the qualifiers. Bournemouth are staying in 16th.

Wayne’s Rooney’s 100th Premier League goal at Old Trafford is the difference, and it was a peach. Nothing else in that half was remotely memorable, but the goal was really good. That’s Rooney’s first goal in 775 minutes of football: he hadn’t scored since 2 February.

45 min: The first 40-odd minutes were extremely tedious, but that really was a goal to savour. Four players involved: Martial, Mata, Rashford and Rooney, and the dummy from Rashford was perhaps the best moment of all.

One minute of stoppage time.

44 min: What a fabulous goal that was. Martial started it by injecting some pace into the move, exchanged passes with Mata, got into the box, slipped a ball into the danger area, and Rashford produced a beautiful deft dummy, allowing Rooney to run from deep and slot it home. A lovely, technical goal – the passing was superb – and finally we have some action!

40 min: United just haven’t been at the races, and Martial totally miscontrols in a good position on the left flank. It’s out for a goal kick.

Here’s Thabo Mokaleng: “This lot is obviously not going to score 19 but it’d be awfully nice if they were to attempt one. Maybe that’d open the floodga… Nope, it won’t. I’m off to bed.”

39 min: It was Valencia with the block, but Pugh didn’t really strike it cleanly. Bournemouth did very well to get in on the right side after Borthwick-Jackson slipped: that was the best chance of the first half.

38 min: Pugh should have done better! Bournemouth worked it nicely on the right side, and it was cut back beautifully for Pugh, about 18 yards from goal, but he struck it straight at a red shirt! He really should have tested De Gea: he had time and space.

36 min: Surman looks for King, but De Gea is quickly out to claim, and he tries to get United moving down the other end, but Bournemouth win it back, and normal service is resumed.

34 min: Francis’s ball is in overhit. Disappointing. Andrew Goudie writes: “Forget the woeful Premier League’s last knockings. In contrast to Manchester United’s dismal efforts, the first half of Hull v Derby has been great – Derby 2-0 up at half-time.”

Yes! Follow it here:

33 min: Now a good chance for Bournemouth from the set piece as Borthwick-Jackson tugs back Ritchie. On the corner of the box, right side.

31 min: Free kick to United 40 yards from goal, left side. Played in by Rooney, and Carrick nearly connected! Rooney fizzed it in, and no one picked Carrick up – he was inches from getting on the end of it, and it bounced through to Federici. Unlucky.

29 min: Rooney looks for Valencia … and drills it straight out of play. Bournemouth have barely attacked, but it’s all rather laboured from United at the moment.

27 min: Mata is offside. “We need a goal,” says Lee Dixon, with characteristic litotes.

25 min: Still no work for the goalkeepers to do. United’s players look a little hesitant, as though they’re trying to get through uninjured and seal a place in Saturday’s starting XI.

Here’s Rajiv: “Man Utd taking a corner and passing it back to their defenders is the sort of crappy joke people would make up to describe their awful football. But the thing is, it actually happens game after game.”

23 min: Nice scooped pass from Martial to try to set Rashford free, but Bournemouth are quickly back to knock it clear. It’s heating up ever so slightly here.

22 min: Good hold-up play from King to draw the foul, and now Bournemouth have a crossing chance from the left. Daniels with it, and it fell kindly on the edge to Ritchie, was it, but he couldn’t quite keep his footing and his shot was blocked.

21 min: If you’re just tuning in, you really haven’t missed anything. It’s been extremely tepid.

20 min: Good pass from Valencia to release Lingard, who ran in beyond the defence, but Daniels did very well to get back and concede the corner. United take the corner short, to many groans, and it goes all the way across to Borthwick-Jackson, whose cross is dross.

18 min: Ritchie runs at Borthwick-Jackson for the first time, but he handled as he fell to the ground, and it’s a United free kick.

17 min: Oh, chance for Lingard. He ran between the two centre-backs to reach Rooney’s long ball, and tried to cushion a pass back for Mata, who would have had a free shot, but Lingard’s control was off, and Bournemouth clear. Tonight’s hot topic: is Lingard any good?

15 min: Rooney hits another long pass for Valencia on the right flank, but the Ecuadorian goes back to Smalling, and United have to start again.

Christopher Dale writes: “Can we have Fergie back now?”

14 min: This is pretty limp stuff, to be honest. Bournemouth haven’t really strung three passes together in the opposition half, but they look fairly solid at the back. Federici with nothing to do so far.

12 min: Played deep, but too long for everyone. I do love how Blind, a centre-back, takes United’s corner kicks. George Graham would never have allowed Andy Linighan to do that.

12 min: Headed away. Rooney lobs it back in, and Smalling looks interested, but again, it’s behind for a corner. Blind to take.

10 min: It’s been a very low-key start. The Bournemouth fans are making a noise, but the rest of the ground is pretty quiet. Here’s a free kick in a decent position for the home side, though.

8 min: The first ball is repelled by Bournemouth. Then Rooney hits a great long crossfield pass into the vacant left-back slot, but Valencia can’t control. He was offside in any case, but that was a super hit from Rooney.

7 min: Great pass by Mata, over the top, for Martial, in space on the back post. Francis gets back to concede the corner.

5 min: Bournemouth happy to “sit in”, as they say in the parlance. United dominant in possession so far, but the game’s been mostly played in the middle third.

3 min: Valencia feeds Rashford in the inside-right channel, but he can’t quite control, and it’s out of play for a goal kick.

2 min: An extremely mellow start. Carrick playing in the midfield anchor role for the hosts, in what Lee Dixon on commentary describes as a 4-1-4-1 formation.

We’re a couple of minutes away. Lots of empty seats at Old Trafford.

Some of the Manchester United mascots tonight are wearing blue face paint. That’s because Manchester United love money:

Eliot Crowe is channeling Ted Crilly: “I agree with Conal Huetter’s earlier comment. It’s a pathetic state of affairs that the Manchester United manager should be expected, indeed obliged, to go out and win a football match. Down with this sort of thing.”

About 10 minutes until kick-off. David de Gea just going through his warm-ups. He’s been outstanding this season, and has 15 clean sheets in 33 games. So strange to consider Sergio Romero started the first four games of the season, but since then De Gea has been unstoppable: where does he rank alongside Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar? (Look, Gary Walsh is not included in this quiz, OK?)

If anyone missed this last week, it’s really worth catching up with: Daniel Taylor on the sad story of Adrian Doherty, Manchester United’s lost genius, and a player so quick and skilful that he had the edge on Ryan Giggs, his youth team contemporary in the early 1990s. “He was out of this world,” admitted Gary Neville. “He could go past people at will,” Giggs said. “He could ride tackles like you wouldn’t believe. He could go inside, outside, play one-twos, pass and move. You know in The Matrix, where everything clicks together, where it’s all happening quickly, but in the character’s head it’s slow motion? It was a bit like that with Doc.”

And JR in Illinois is hoping for big things from Chris and Jesse: “Hey Tim, don’t tell me there’s nothing to play for. I’ve got Smalling and Lingard on my fantasy team and am desperately trying to take over first place in my league. Unfortunately, despite a quite heroic comeback in the second half of the season, I’m afraid I need a Smalling brace. A red card and own goal for Martial would help me, too.”

Here’s Conal Huetter: “In response to Griff – sadly, I don’t think it is pointless. If United finish sixth, they would have to play Europa League qualifiers in July, possibly requiring them to cancel lucrative friendlies. Wouldn’t surprise me if LvG has orders to make sure that doesn’t happen, even if that hurts our chances in the FA Cup final. Pathetic state of affairs all around.”

Hull are 3-0 up against Derby County and can book a playoff final spot at Wembley if they don’t do anything silly. Follow that here with Scott Murray:

Griff is fed up: “LVG playing a full strength team in an utterly pointless game days before a cup final. I’m betting on at least three injuries, Martial definitely being one of them.”

We’re not expecting a capacity crowd tonight: all tickets have been refunded after Sunday’s postponement, but given the short notice of the re-arrangement, Old Trafford probably won’t be full. Bournemouth have put on some free coaches to transport fans to Manchester, so there should at least be a smattering of away supporters.

So Man United name the same team that would have played on Sunday, and it looks pretty strong: Mata, Rooney, Martial and Rashford are all included. Bournemouth make one change: Dan Gosling comes in for Harry Arter, and will partner Andrew Surman in central midfield.

Tim will be here shortly. In the meantime, here’s Paul Wilson on why Manchester United are improving at a snail’s pace:

Here’s the question then. If United have a miserly defence and exciting players in attack, how come their season has been such a damp squib, failing to make the Champions League for the second time in three years and setting all sorts of unwanted records for scoreless first halves and negligible totals of shots on target? If Van Gaal’s brief was to steady the ship after the David Moyes season and return United to their rightful place among the giants of Europe, then he has failed, surely?

Or at least he has got only half the job done. United are a steady, secure, risk-free operation these days, which is probably why Boycott still likes them, but they do not frighten the big names around Europe any longer. That was starting to be true at the end of Sir Alex Ferguson’s long reign. It was true last season when United qualified for the Champions League but were out of the competition by Christmas and it almost certainly would have been true had Manchester City slipped up at Swansea to allow their neighbours the chance to sneak into the top four this time.

Even Manchester United supporters do not much care for the brand of football that has been served up this season. Van Gaal does indeed deserve credit for reducing the age of the side, particularly in attack, and showing confidence in youngsters such as Martial and Rashford but he is right about the lack of creativity in midfield.

Between a solid defence and an attacking partnership that is going to get better United appear to have little to offer to hurt opponents or to bring spectators to their feet. They play a safety-first, possession-based game that often seems designed to bore opponents into submission rather than play them off the park. Martial and Rashford have been excellent at sticking away what few opportunities have come their way but just imagine what a plod United’s season would have been without them.
