Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this UEFA Champions League Group H match between Manchester United and RB Leipzig at Old Trafford.
Man United will be looking to make it two wins out of two in Group H as they host last year's semi-finalists Leipzig. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men picked up an impressive win away to Paris Saint-Germain last week and look to be recovering from their rocky start to the season. They'll be hoping that recovery continues here.
Leipzig, meanwhile, also come into this game with a win already on the board as they saw off Istanbul Basaksehir 2-0 last time out. Another victory for either team would do wonders for their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout phase. Let's see if either of them get it!
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-1-2-1-2): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire (c), Luke Shaw; Nemanja Matic; Fred, Paul Pogba; Donny van de Beek; Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial.

Next up for Man United in Group H is a double-header against Istanbul Basaksehir, starting in Turkey next week. If United win both of those games they will surely be through to the knockout phase. Leipzig now face PSG twice. They need to recover quickly if they want to qualify too. That's all for now. Goodbye!
