Maguire plays it long this time but Haidara clears. It's not going to come through skill it seems, rather a slice of luck for United.
90' +1
There will be four additional minutes here.
Poulsen is offside and United have a free-kick. It's launched long and almost falls kindly for Rashford. Pogba recycles the ball well and his delivery is dangerous but just out of reach for the United attack.
89'
Leipzig are in the United area briefly before the Red Devils break at speed. Rashford has it on the left before cutting in and firing a shot on goal. It's well struck but straight at Gulacsi who catches well.
87'
M. Halstenberg enters the game and replaces Angeliño.
Halstenberg is on for Angelino.
A poor pass from Pogba almost gives Leipzig a chance to wrap the game up. Maguire steps up well to catch Kluivert offside and avert the danger.
86'
This has been a totally different United side this second half. They are pressing every ball as they go in search of an equaliser.
82'
I. Konaté is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOOOAAAALLL! UNITED ARE BACK IN IT! Van De Beek wins a corner and Pogba converts. There's confusion initially as the Leipzig players claim it went in after striking Maguire's hand but VAR gives it. 3-2!
It's another goal involvement for Fernandes whose back-post delivery was very inviting!
81'
T. Adams gets yellow.
Adams makes it nine yellow cards for the game.
80'
Penalty goal scored by Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United!
GOOOAAAALLLLL! FERNANDES GETS ONE BACK! The penalty looked soft but United won't care. Their penalty expert made no mistake to give them a glimmer of hope. 3-1!

T. Fosu-Mensah enters the game and replaces A. Wan-Bissaka.
A. Tuanzebe enters the game and replaces V. Lindelöf.
Lindelof wins the ball but his boot is slightly off the ground and in today's game, that warrants a yellow card.

76'
Rashford almost gets on the end of a good Fernandes ball but Golasci does well to gather.
75'

72'
Can Manchester United somehow get back into this contest? They'll need to score soon if they are to have any chance.
69'
J. Kluivert has scored a goal for RB Leipzig! Assist by C. Nkunku.
It was Nkunku's cross that United failed to deal with that led to the goal!
GOOOOAAALLLL! HAS KLUIVERT WON IT? The ball in should be cleared but it's allowed to dribble across goal and Kluivert gratefully chips it past De Gea. 3-0 Leipzig!
68'
B. Williams gets yellow.
Williams receives a yellow card not long after coming on.
65'
A long ball from Angelino finds Nkunku in space on the left. Poulsen is up in support but the United defence recover well to stifle any potential threat.
63'
Fernandes fires a wicked first-time throughball into Greenwood. The Englishman is tackled well but that was a glimpse of what the Portuguese player can summon up at any moment.
62'
H. Maguire gets yellow.
J. Kluivert gets yellow.

60'
Shaw's delivery is poor and barely gets to the first man.
59'
Fernandes wins a free-kick after a challenge from Sabitzer and United will have another chance to get the ball into the box. The Leipzig man will have to be careful!

56'
Y. Poulsen enters the game and replaces E. Forsberg.
J. Kluivert enters the game and replaces Dani Olmo.
It's a double change from Nagelsmann. Kluivert is the next man on as he replaces Olmo.
Poulsen is on for Leipzig and replaces Forsberg.
55'
CHANCE! The corner comes to nothing but Fernandes has another opportunity to deliver a telling ball from a free-kick. It's asking to be converted as it flashes across goal but it's agonisingly out of reach for Maguire.
54'
United have another corner. The move was started by Matic who glided through a host of Leipzig players before finding Shaw.
53'
Wan-Bissaka wins a header on the right flank and guides it back to Greenwood. The youngster protects the ball well and earns a free-kick.
52'
Solskjaer's side continue to flood forward. The half-time change has had an immediate impact. The only surprise is that it took until half-time to make it.
50'
It's another corner for United. It's all coming down the left-hand side in these opening five minutes of the second half.
49'
A minute later and van de Beek is played in behind the Leipzig defence. His attempted cut-back is blocked for a corner.
48'
That's better from United. Fernandes, Greenwood and Rashford link up to set up van de Beek. The Dutchman should shoot but attempts to lay it back instead.
47'
United have reverted to a back four with the change.
46'
D. van de Beek enters the game and replaces Alex Telles.
We're back underway for the second half.

45' +2
Greenwood sweeps it forward. Rashford lays it off nicely for Fernandes but the home side recover into their shape so quickly.
45' +1
There will be two minutes of added time.
45'
The home side have a corner as we approach half-time. Maguire's clearing header drops for Sabitzer on the volley but it's over the bar.
43'
L. Shaw gets yellow.
Shaw is booked for a challenge on Konate despite clearly winning the ball. The Leipzig defender made a meal of it, and the referee lapped it up.
42'
Fernandes' ball in is met by McTominay at the back post and the midfielder's header back into the danger area causes confusion briefly before the hosts clear.
41'
Angelino has a chance to cross but gets it all wrong and United break with Greenwood. He has Rashford to his right but his pass is massively overhit. The striker recovers to win his side a free-kick.
39'
Rashford is running through but gets the ball caught under his feet a little. Orban has the chance to make the tackle and does, much to the frustration of the United striker.
36'
The cross is partially cleared before Wan-Bissaka lines up an effort from the edge of the box. However, the full-back is just beaten to the ball before Leipzig clear.
35'
M. Sabitzer gets yellow.
Sabitzer is the next name in the book after bringing down McTominay who was charging forward.
Sabitzer needs to be careful. He gives away another free-kick seconds after receiving a yellow card.
33'
Rashford has a shot on goal but it's well blocked by Orban. Greenwood was available in space but these United strikers are so tuned to strike on sight.
32'
N. Mukiele gets yellow.
Mukiele is booked for a challenge on Fernandes.
29'
Telles gets to the byline and has a cross blocked. The ball is eventually worked back into defence before the hosts steal possession.
27'
United have another free-kick, this time from deeper. Telles takes but overhits it into the hands of Gulacsi.
25'
Rashford gets the better of Orban and switches play to Shaw on the left. The Englishman has Telles in front and finds the Portuguese player but he is swarmed immediately by a host of Leipzig players. United can barely breathe out here.
22'
Contrary to the reported line-up, United are operating with a back three of Lindelof, Maguire and Shaw, with Wan-Bissaka and Telles playing as wing-backs.
20'
The system just isn't working for United. They can't create anything going forward and their opponents are finding space at will. This will be a test of Solskjaer's tactical nous - can he arrest the momentum?
19'
The Red Devils enjoy a breif spell of possession before Kampl fouls Fernandes.
16'
Where do United go from here? They've been undone by two simple passages of play. Is it too early to change things for Solskjaer?
13'
A. Haidara has scored a goal for RB Leipzig! Assist by Angeliño.
It's been a bright start for Angelino who adds an assist to his second-minute goal. It was a perfectly weighted cross to tee up his team-mate.
GOOAAAALLLL! 2-0 LEIPZIG! That is far too easy. Angelino is once again in space and turns provider this time. His back-post delivery is met on the volley by Haidara who strikes it cleanly into the far corner to double the German side's lead!
12'
Leipzig are applying intense pressure on every United player who receives the ball, making it hard for the away side to get out their half.
11'
Leipzig win the first corner of the game. It's partially cleared by United before the home side get the ball back into the box.
6'
It's all Leipzig in these opening stages. United seem too eager to remain in their defensive shape and that's inviting pressure.
5'
Bruno Fernandes gets yellow.
Fernandes is booked for arguing with the referee. Another setback for the visitors.
2'
Angeliño has scored a goal for RB Leipzig! Assist by M. Sabitzer.
It was a brilliant ball across goal from Sabitzer that was key to breaking the deadlock.
GOAAAAALLLLL! LEIPZIG LEAD INSIDE TWO MINUTES! Sabitzer plays a lovely ball behind the back four and Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka can only watch as it makes it all the way across the box where Angelino is on hand to drill it into the far corner. De Gea had no chance. 1-0 Leipzig!

Referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz blows his whistle and RB Leipzig get the game underway.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Champions League Group H meeting between RB Leipzig and Manchester United from the Red Bull Arena.
Both sides are level on nine points with Paris Saint-Germain coming into this crucial tie that will – along with the section’s other match – determine who qualifies for the knockout stages. The English giants have the slight advantage as they just need to avoid defeat whereas, assuming PSG don’t lose to Istanbul Basaksehir, nothing but a win will do for the hosts. In the reverse fixture, a second-half masterclass from Marcus Rashford gave the Red Devils a thumping 5-0 triumph, but I have a feeling it’ll be a little closer this time around.
And if it’s anything like Leipzig’s previous two outings, we’re in for a treat. The Red Bulls scored in the 92nd minute to win 4-3 away to Basaksehir in their last group game and split six goals with Bayern Munich at the weekend to leave the Allianz Arena with a point. They sit third in the Bundesliga and have tasted victory in their last seven home fixtures.
RB LEIPZIG (4-3-2-1): Peter Gulacsi; Nordi Mukiele, Ibrahima Konate, Willi Orban, Angelino; Marcel Sabitzer (c), Amadou Haidara, Kevin Kampl; Christopher Nkunku, Emil Forsberg; Dani Olmo.
RB LEIPZIG SUBS: Joscha Wosz, Alexander Sorloth, Philipp Tschauner, Marcel Halstenberg, Yussuf Poulsen, Tyler Adams, Justin Kluivert, Josep Martinez, Eric Martel.
Their opponents are on a strange old run of form. In their latest group game against PSG, but for a lack of composure in front of goal, United could have easily snatched what would have been a deserved three points. On the flip side, despite playing some awful football for the best part of an hour against West Ham at the weekend, they left the London Stadium as 3-1 victors. That you don’t know what you’re going to get with United makes this game all the more compelling. Team news is next.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire (c), Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Alex Telles; Marcus Rashford.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Dean Henderson, Axel Tuanzebe, Lee Grant, Eric Bailly, Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Daniel James, Brandon Williams, Odion Ighalo.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
It's been another baffling display from the English side. When things were going badly against West Ham, Solskjaer wasn't afraid to make changes at the break and I'd be amazed if he doesn't do the same here. They were second best in every department and have 45 minutes to save their Champions League hopes this season.
Nagelsmann and his Leipzig side thoroughly deserved their victory and return to Bundesliga action next when they welcome 13th-placed Werder Bremen. For United, they'll have to dust themselves off quickly as they face another stern task in the form of their city rivals at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Anyway, that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed following our coverage of this Champions League clash. Until next time, goodbye!
