Substitution: Garnacho for Sancho (81 mn)
Note: The formation given by Manchester United basically confirmed a textbook 4-2-3-1 with Casemiro and Fred as enforcers, Sancho on the right, Rashford on the left and Bruno operating behind the target man Weghorst, but in reality, it looked more as a 4-5-1 with Casemiro as central DMF, Fred and Weghorst as CMFs, Bruno on the right wing, Sancho on the left wing and Rashford as CF
