SUB! Cavani, who has been ineffectual tonight, is off for Van de Beek. Alzate looked set to come on for Lallana but he has been sent to warm up with Lallana, who was carrying a knock, looking fine to play on.

SHOT! Fernandes drills a shot on goal after jinking past Gross but it bounces into the arms of Sanchez.
79'
Just over ten minutes of normal time left to play and Van de Beek is set to come onto the pitch. United look the more likely to score a late winner here but Brighton have looked a threat on the break all evening.
77'
SO CLOSE! Mason Greenwood fires a shot on goal which Sanchez spills. It comes back to an off-balance Greenwood who loops a shot onto the roof of the net! That looked destined for the net!
75'
Pogba finds space in behind and he tries to pick out Cavani, who has had a very quiet game, but Brighton clear their lines.

JUST WIDE!!! VAR... NO PENALTY! Welbeck fires just wide from close-range and there's strong appeals for a penalty as there is contact between him and Maguire. Referee Mike Dean is going to consult the VAR monitor. A penalty would be harsh... Dean did not feel there was enough there to merit a spot-kick. Play on.
69'
The corner swung in is easily caught by Sanchez.
68'
United are applying heavy pressure now. Fred's deflected shot goes out for a United corner.
66'
YELLOW! For White for holding the ball too long ahead of a United free-kick.
65'
CHANCE! Wan-Bissaka drives a ball into the feet of Greenwood but he cannot open his body enough and he fires wide.

Brighton are outnumbering United in the middle and the hosts seemingly have no answer to it. But here we go... CHANCE! Pogba lofts a lovely ball into the path of Fernandes but Sanchez does well to get his body in the way of it. United corner which Dunk heads 40-yards clear!
