HALF-TIME! Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Here are the half-time thoughts of Richard Jolly from the Hill Dickinson:
Manchester United have had a lot of possesion, territory and pressure this half but not enough clear-cut chances. Or goals.

HALF-TIME! Everton 0-0 Man Utd
That’s the last action of the first half at the Hill Dickinson. It’s been a little pedestrian and stop-start at times but both sides have had chances, and either could have been ahead at the break.
It’s set to be an interesting second half on Merseyside.

A counter-attack from the visitors sees Cunha try to slide a through ball into the path of Rashford, but Branthwaite manages to slide in.
The ball rebounds out to Fernandes, who tries to bend an effort into the far corner, but once again Branthwaite is there to head clear!

Some late worries for United as George skips away from Dalot but Mbeumo gets to the cross. He finds Cunha but he takes an awful touch and loses out to Dewsbury-Hall.
Moments later, there’s some pinball in the box before it drops to Branthwaite, but he can only fire it straight at Lammens.

United have possession around the Everton box but again it’s just not clicking so far, before it breaks down and Tarkowski clears.
There’ll be three minutes of added time.

Rohl swings it into the box and Barry is arriving at the far post. He rises to connect with the header about eight yars out but he can only direct it wide!
Everton’s best chance so far, and one that Barry may feel he should have scored. He almost looked like he didn’t expect it to get to him!

Both sides see an attack break down due to a poor pass, with United having two in as many minutes. They still haven’t managed to pile the pressure onto the hosts.

Everton have enjoyed a bit of sustained possession but it’s mainly in their own half before George wins a free-kick on the left wing, just inside the United half.
Garner lumps it into the box from deep but it’s headed harmlessly wide by Barry.

Rashford does well again as he skips past Mykolenko into the box, but Tarkowski is covering at the expense of a corner. The delivery is a poor one though, and it goes out of play on the other side.
