68'
Maguire strides forward but United have to turn back. Still , it's more than they've done in a while and Rashford is quickly into the game, linking with Sancho. He thinks he's earned a corner, but the ref signals for a goalkick.

United send on Fernandes and Rashford for Van de Beek and Martial.
65'
Gomez, who's been excellent, turns up back on the left where he started and crosses ... but Sancho blocks at source. The resultant corner is a poor one, and when the ball cois sent back in, it drifts behind.
64'
United have barely been out of their own half since the break. They are absolutely miserable, and arranging to concede a late goal as they did against Young Boys.
63'
Villarreal wander forward, Gomez playing off Danjuma, before pino lashes high and wide.
62'
Rashford is being shown stuff from the playbook, and Fernandes also looks imminent.
62'
It looks like Rashford will soon be with us - if so, I'd expect Martial to make way.
60'
De Gea still gets beaten too easily at his near post, but his shot-stopping is right back where it used to be.
59'

WHAT A SAVE DE GEA! Capoue into Gomez, whose shot is blocked but shoots across the box to Trigueros, who cracks into the turf ... and the keeper, his view blocked by the arse-showing Maguire, flings himself right to tip away! He's saved United yet again!
58'
And here he is, with the chance to send Telles into space down the left. But the pass is too strong and runs out of play.
57'
A few minutes ago, Matic was warming up, but McTominay seems to have run his twist off.
56'
Estupinan sticks one in behind for Gomez, but Lindelof sees the pass into touch.
56'
Villarreal are in charge here, Capoue prompting, but Maguire climbs all over him to avert imminent danger.
55'
Yes, in 55 minutes of football, United have made the keeper make one save - from Fred's right foot. You've got to laugh.
54'

Sancho has looked United's likeliest attacker and he makes ground down the right then finds Fred, whose right-foot shot is straight at Rulli and the first he's had to save all night.
53'
But here's Martial trying to inject some - please do not adjust your sets - finding Telles, who sticks one in behind for Ronaldo. It's a decent idea, but the ball is too strong.
53'
I've seen dead slugs with more pace than this game.
51'
Parejo lifts a decent ball over the top that Wan-Bissaka reads well, hooking away from Estupinan.
50'
Nice from McTominay, who beats his man and punches a good ball out to Martial. He then lands awkwardly, Martial can't control, and that'sj ust classic Manchester United. He should be ok, though.
49'
Fernandes is warming up. Meantime, Villarreal win a corner that Lindelof clears at the back post.
47'
My internet has vanished, so I'm currently watching on my phone - please forgive me. Truth is, if the second half is owt like the first, it's not going to matter much.
