M. Lanzini

A. Odubeko

112' Odubeko, who was brought on during the second half, hasn't been able to get involved and he's being taken off for Lanzini.

108' Shaw squares the ball to Martial and continues his run through the middle to get the return pass. There's too much on the throughball from the Frenchman though and it rolls straight into Fabianski's gloves.

106' United get the second half of extra-time underway!

United finally break the deadlock to lead 1-0 at half-time in extra-time. The goal was the only chance in the half for United and it came from West Ham failing to clear their lines. Rashford reacts quickest to get onto the loose ball and he touches it into McTominay's path for him to drill it first-time into the bottom corner.

105' + 1' HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 WEST HAM.

105' West Ham are keeping the ball well at the moment, but all of their possession is in front of United, who have everyone sitting back to close down the space. Dawson tries to set Benrahma off down the right, but Maguire is across to nick it off him.

103' McTominay has scored seven goals in his 30 appearances in all competitions this season, the same number he managed in his 84 other United matches prior to this campaign.

95' West Ham are sitting deeper in their own half now as United attack again and they're closing down the space well. Rashford makes a good run down the right, but he can't find a way past Cresswell.

91' Wan-Bissaka is also making way, with Williams on in his place.

L. Shaw

Alex Telles

91' There's a double change for United before the kick-off with Shaw being brought on for Telles.

Both managers will want to see a much brighter performance in extra-time as neither will want to go to a penalty shoot-out. West Ham haven't tested Henderson at all which Moyes will want to change, but they've been good at the back to shut out United and Solskjaer will want them to be more clinical.

United created the best chances of the game with Fabianski being forced into two good saves, one from Lindelof in the first half and a second for Rashford after the break.

90' + 3' END OF 90 MINUTES: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 WEST HAM.

90' United work it upfield well as Rashford switches it out to Telles, who has a lot of space down the left. He curls another cross into the box, but it's too close to Fabianski, who holds onto it.

S. Benrahma

Pablo Fornals

M. Greenwood

Bruno Fernandes

D. van de Beek

73' Van de Beek is also taken off, with Fernandes replacing him.

S. McTominay

N. Matić

73' There's a double change for United now and Matic is the first to make way, with McTominay on for him.

68' Lindelof gifts the ball to Fornals on the halfway line and West Ham break with three on two. He has Odubeko to his left and tries to square it to him, but Lindelof makes up for his mistake by making the block.

66' Matic lifts the ball over the top of West Ham's defenders to pick out Van de Beek's run into the left of the box. He pulls it back from the byline towards Martial, but the offside flag has gone up against him.

64' United are struggling to keep hold of the ball when they break into West Ham's half at the moment and they're giving it away sloppily. Fred plays it out to Telles, but his first touch sends it straight out of play.

62' Lindelof has stayed down after being caught on the back of the head by Soucek when they both tried to get on the end of Frederick's cross. It takes him a little while to get back to his feet, but he's going to carry on without any treatment.

A. Odubeko

A. Yarmolenko

54' Yarmolenko has been struggling after picking up that knee injury at the start of the half and he's replaced by Odubeko.

53' GOOD SAVE! Martial slices at his shot and it ends up curling over Dawson to Rashford, who is in space on the left of the box. He brings it down and hits the shot, but Fabianski rushes off his line to smother the effort.

52' Rashford picks the ball up near the halfway line and makes another driving run into the box. He has no one with him in support though and is eventually crowded off the ball by the West Ham defenders.

50' West Ham have made a bright start to the second half as Johnson makes another good run down the left. He plays a low cross into the box which Matic misses, but Maguire steps forward to get it ahead of Yarmolenko.

48' Yarmolenko drilled a low cross into the box and he's stayed down holding his knee after challenging Lindelof for it. He's gingerly getting back to his feet and he's going to get some treatment on the sidelines.

B. Johnson

J. Bowen

46' There's a double change for West Ham at the break as Johnson comes on for Bowen.

Solskjaer will be pleased with his side's performance so far, but they need to make a big improvement in front of goal after the break if they want to get something out of this match. As for West Ham, they struggled to get out of their half at times and Moyes will want them to get on the front foot more in the second half and create some chances.

It's goalless at the break between Manchester United and West Ham. The hosts dominated possession in the first half, but only created one real clear cut chance when Lindelof forced Fabianski into a good save from a corner. West Ham have defended really well so far, making a lot of important blocks to deny United, but haven't really created anything at the other end.

45' + 3' HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 WEST HAM.

41' Lindelof spots Rashford's run through the middle and the defender plays a ball over the top for him. It's good defending by Coufal though as he stays with him the whole way and helps see it back to Fabianski.

39' Martial is the first back to his feet and he's slowly making his way to the side of the pitch. Diop is up a couple of seconds later and they both look like they're going to be able to carry on.

37' Martial cleared a corner before being caught by Diop who was running onto the ball. Both players have stayed down and are receiving treatment for their head injuries now.

33' It's a quick break from West Ham as Yarmolenko wins it back in midfield and plays in Bowen through the middle. He's quickly closed down by Telles though and can't keep hold of the ball.

31' United are still finding a lot of space down the left as Rashford drives into the final third. He squares it to Van de Beek and Diop blocks it, but his clearance comes back to Telles, only for Dawson to get in the way of his cross.

26' Martial plays a one-two with Rashford on the edge of the box to get away from Rice and he hits the shot first time when he gets the return pass. Yet again though, a West Ham player is there as Noble throws himself in front of it.

22' Rashford cuts inside for the left and he decides to have a shot himself despite having support in the box. He tries to curl it towards the far post, but Dawson is there to make another block for West Ham.

20' United are still dominating possession here and a pocket of space just opens up for Matic on the edge of the box. He decides to have a go from range but fires his shot high over the bar and into the stands.

18' Aged 23 years and 101 days, Rashford tonight becomes the fourth-youngest player in Manchester United's history to make 250 appearances for the club, behind only Norman Whiteside, George Best and Ryan Giggs.

I. Diop

A. Ogbonna

16' West Ham are finally able to make that change as Diop comes on for the injured Ogbonna.

10' Wan-Bissaka has space to run into down the right and he whips a good cross into the box and Greenwood flicks it on in the middle to pick out Rashford. He takes too long to decide what he wants to do though and Noble dispossesses him.

8' West Ham are being kept penned back in their own half as United continue to close them down high up the field. The visitors are keeping the ball well, but they just can't find a way forward at the moment.

6' It's a good ball from Telles over the top to pick out Rashford's run ahead of him down the left and he brings it down well. He's quickly closed down by Coufal though and he can't keep it in play.

4' Greenwood closes Fornals down quickly to win the ball back and he drives forward into the box. He takes a heavy touch when he gets into the area though which gives Cresswell chance to clear the danger.

2' West Ham have a free-kick in midfield and Noble curls a good ball into the far post. He's looking for Yarmolenko, but Matic gets ahead of him and does enough to help see it out and avoid giving away a corner.
