Ashley Young had the first chance of the match, when he hammered a powerful strike into the side-netting from a tight angle.

The visitors threatened again through Anderson, but his effort was comfortably saved by Thomas Sorensen.

In the 29th minute the match was suspended due to a hail storm, but after a 10-minute delay play resumed.

Manchester United had a great chance to take the lead on the stroke of half time, but Jonny Evans could not connect with a flicked-on corner at the back post and the game stayed goalless.
