Evans sets up a United attack with some fine composed play in defence. Comes to an end between Valencia and Berbatov though. Different wave-lengths.

Five minutes to play. This is fizzling out.

Nani thinks he is shoved over whilst trying to shoot. Hutton emerges with the ball and the referee waves play on.

Now Evra looks to spring forward in attack, but the pass to him is overhit and the Frenchman has to scamper back.

Strong defending from Patrice Evra to deny Alan Hutton who thinks he is bursting into the area.

Given has to react quickly once more to tip over Antonio Valencia's deflected shot.

Nani must have thought he would turn in Valencia's corner. Blocked at the near post.

Lovely play from Rafael to dispossess Agbonlahor and launch United forward. Having a good game in defence.
