40'
But he should be picking the ball out of the net now. Smalling heading wide from six yards out. What a miss that was.
39'
And another top stop as the Cluj keeper's fingertips deny Rooney's clipped effort.

Camora sends over a high ball that Felice Piccolo meets with a tame header. Easy for de Gea.

33'
UPDATE. Braga are beating Galatasaray. As it stands, Cluj will finish as runners-up.
32'
Giggs clips a hopeful 30 yard ball down the middle that is easily gobbled up by Felgueiras. It sums up the game so far.
31'
Cluj are level on seven points with Galatasaray although, with an inferior head-to-head record, they must achieve a better result at Old Trafford than the Turkish team manage in Braga if they are to leapfrog them into second place.
30'
Half an hour played and the game does have the feel of one that doesn't have everything riding on it. That may be the case for United but it's still all to play for, for Cluj.
29'
Muresan lines one up from 30 yards.... A wild attempt that flies way over the bar.
28'
Another interesting stat. United's defeat at Galatasaray on matchday five ended a run of 20 successive European games in which Sir Alex Ferguson's side had scored.
27'
Back up the other end and Cluj come close again with another deflected shot from Sougou.
26'
And again United come close. Jones volleyed back across goal and when Powell miscued his shot Smalling arrived to head over from six yards. Only the sight of the offside flag saves his blushes.

Huge chance for Cluj. Pedro feeds Modou Sougou who looks all set to score until a great block tackle by Scott Wootton denies him.
21'
Did you know? Luis Alberto has blocked more shots than any other player in the Champions League this season (10).
20'
Chance for Powell. Phil Jones' cross from the right is flapped at by the keeper but the ex-Crewe man sees his shot blocked by a defender.
