Play by play

  1. 90'

    FULL-TIME: United secure second-place with a breathtaking first-half show. Alan Curbishley's final match in charge ends in an absolute drubbing.

  2. 88'

    SHOT! Ambrose fires in a low shot, but Van Der Sar gets down quickly to save on his goal-line.

  3. 87'

    Both sides seem desperate for this non-game to finish.

  4. 85'

    Ferdinand is spotted eating biscuits on the field as play goes on around him; very, very odd.

  5. 84'

    Ferdinand seems to be moving freely enough now; there was some genuine concern when he first went down, but he looks fine now.

  6. 83'

    Hughes breaks in to the United penalty area, but Ferdinand comes across to clear up.

  7. 82'

    Scholes makes his first run forward, but his attempted flick towards Solskjaer doesn't come off.

  8. 81'

    Ferdinand seems to have picked up an injury; the United players look very concerned as the physio comes on to treat the England defender.

  9. 79'

    So, it seems likely that Alan Curbishley will complete 15 years in charge of Charlton without beating Manchester United. How he will have wished that he could have got something this afternoon.

  10. 78'

    Richardson needs some treatment to a knock on his leg, but he is soon back up on his feet.

  11. 77'

    The pace of the game is little above a practice game; the players are knocking the ball around with little pressure.

  12. 76'

    Scholes shows he hasn't lost his love of the tackle as he robs Powell inside the United half.

  13. 75'

    WASTED CHANCE! Rossi plays in Silvestre down the left; he opts to cut the ball back to the penalty spot rather than fire across the face of goal, but there is no United player there to slot home.

  14. 74'

    DREADFUL! Hughes fires in Charlton's first shot since the break, but his left-foot effort flies high and wide.

  15. 73'

    Scholes is just sitting in midfield, popping the ball around, feeling his way back in to football; this is his first game of any description for a number of months.

  16. 72'

    Van Der Sar has only touched the ball twice in this second half, by my reckoning; United are camped in the Charlton half.

  17. 71'

    Ronaldo almost makes it five when he sneaks in behind the Charlton defence, but Andersen makes a good save.

  18. 70'

    The game is drifting a little; Charlton are defending deep and allowing United plenty of the ball, but the home side's desire seems to be on the wane.

  19. 69'

    Just over twenty minutes to go, and United have finally taken their foot off the pedal.

  20. 68'

    Ambrose and Holland stand over a rare Charlton free-kick, 35 yards out. Ambrose fires in the set-piece, but the United defence cope easily.

  21. 67'

    JUST WIDE! Rossi's snap-shot from the edge of the penalty area bobbles a foot wide of the far post.

  22. 66'

    We have a record Premiership attendance inside Old Trafford this afternoon; 73,006.

  23. 65'

    ...Ronaldo curls a right-foot shot goalwards, but his effort dips a yard or so over the crossbar.

  24. 65'

    United win a free-kick when Perry fouls Rossi on the edge of the area. Giggs and Ronaldo stand over the ball...

  25. 65'

    Silvestre and Richardson combine well down the left, but the defender's cut-back towards Giggs is intercepted.
