Pogba hangs onto possession far too long, giving it away to Koppmeiners and all of a sudden Zapata is in! The ball's bouncing high, and the time it takes to come down allows Bailly to leap in and challenge, blocking behind - that's excellent work - and there's a quick penalty check, but nothing doing. Again, we're not allowed to see, and Koopmeniners' corner sails behind.
30'
Ilicic rolls into Zapata and McTominay gets across quickly, humping off Ilicic and out for a thrown.
29'
Zapata backs into Maguire, falls over, and wins the free-kick. That's how this game is going at the moment.
28'
It's a while since United did anything of note.
27'
Nice from Wan-Bissaka, nipping past his man and feeding Pogba who, with nothing on, wedges a pass over the top and to no one.
27'
26'
A quiet period, which will suit Atalanta.
24'
Rashford and Zappacosta clatter each other competing for the ball, but both will be fine.
23'
McTominay, who was so good at the weekend, hasn't got going yet.
22'
A hump over the top and suddenly Zapta's away and in space down the right! But Varane and Maguire get back well, forcing him to shoot, and the sliced effort flies wide of the near post.
21'
United look good to score, but you'd not trust them to keep the goals against column at one.
20'
A gorgeously disguised pass from Fernandes sticks Pogba into space down the right of the box, but his cross for Ronaldo is high not low and hard not measured, so ends up being headed over the bar.
19'
The free-kick finds Maguire at the far post, but he can only head into Maehle and Ronaldo then concedes a free-kick.
18'
Shaw sends Rashford off down the line and he extends a leg for Ilicic to bump and Shaw will now stick a free-kick into the box...

United are pushing for an equaliser, Ronaldo pulling right to cross for Shaw, his position similar position to the one from which he scored in the Euro 2020 final. But this time, he doesn't catch his shot right, and it goes into the ground then loops up over the bar,
16'
On the one hand, that stat reflects very poorly on United; on the other, they should know what to do.

There's a long hiatus while the officials check for offside - we don't get to see the footage - but eventually, the ref points to the centre-circle.

GOAL! Atalanta 1-0 Man United (Ilicic) A deflection off McTominay takes a poor pass into the path of Zapata, who's away from Wan-Bissaka. He slides a cut-back to the edge, which Ilicic sweeps goalwards through the legs of Shaw, and though perhaps De Gea was unsighted, he's no business letting that squirm through him and in. He's been great so far this season, but that was very poor.
11'
There's a nice tempo to this, as there was at Old Trafford.,
9'
Shaw slides in and curls a leg around Ilicic, who goes down. It looked a decent challenge, but the ref gives a free-kick which goes short, Ilicic looking to slide Pasalic in behind, but Maguire is there to clean up.
