Shrewsbury Town - Manchester United live updates

Slight miscontrol of the ball inside the box from Martial, otherwise he may have been in. Probably United’s most likely source of a goal tonight with Rooney out.

Now Herrera has a go from distance and it is also well wide. United forced into optimistic pops from twenty yards or so. Hardly inspiring stuff.

The home fans making a lot of noise in this charming stadium in Shropshire. United pressing, dominating the possession.

One or two players slipping easily on this slick surface but the ball skimming nicely off it. Shot from Herrera blocked by Whitbread and then a poor cross is all the way out for a Shrewsbury goal kick.

SAVE! Memphis turns well and for once gets his shot on target but Leutwiler gets down well to turn it away with his left hand.

So Shrewsbury have negotiated the opening ten minutes without too many problems. The longer it goes, the more nervy United will become.

Borthwick-Jackson wins United another corner. In it comes from Blind and Shrewsbury do well to clear thier lines.

Another shocking effort from Memphis, who is off target by a considerable distance again. Poor technique, stretching forward for the ball. What has happened to him since pre-season?

United may have to work for this tonight. It took Chelsea until the final ten minutes of last season’s League Cup game to break the deadlock here.

AWFUL shot from Memphis that hits the advertising hoarding on the top of the stand. Wow.

Shrewsbury will almost certainly play this on the counter attack. Perfect playing conditions should suit United’s passing ‘on blob’, according to Michael Owen. Whatever that means…

CHANCE! A good corner from Blind and Smalling meets it perfectly but heads it over the bar. That was a decent early chance.

United playing in their change strip of all white, Shrewsbury in their traditional blue and yellow. The shrews setting up 3-5-2, United 4-2-3-1 to start with. Shrewsbury may quickly revert to a more defensive formation. United force an early corner.

KICK-OFF! Referee Robert Madley blows the whistle to get us underway here for this massive FA Cup game for the Shrews. Lose, and Louis van Gall surely faces the chop.

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The players are in the tunnel and making their way out onto the pitch. Nerves surely jangling for these Shrewsbury players on the biggest night of their lives.

TEN MINUTES TO KICK-OFF!

A tough defensive unit for United to break down? The Shrews have kept five clean sheets in their last seven FA Cup games (W5, D1, L1).
