Update: Man Utd v Gamba Osaka

1208 - GOAL! Man Utd 5-1 Gamba OsakaMake that four goals in five minutes, then, Wayne Rooney adding a second to his earlier strike with a fabulous finish from Ryan Giggs's through-ball. United scoring at will, now.

1207 - GOAL! Man Utd 4-1 Gamba OsakaThat should put it to bed nicely, Evra and Nani linking up well on the left and Darren Fletcher getting on the end of a fine cross to head home United's fourth.

1206: Blimey, this game has exploded back into life - Endo trying his luck from 25 yards and forcing Van der Sar into a clumsy save, Gary Neville desperately clearing from yards out under pressure from Hashimoto.

1204 - GOAL! Man Utd 3-1 Gamba OsakaWell it was nice while it lasted for Osaka as Wayne Rooney marks his introduction in emphatic style, the striker latching onto a long through-ball from Fletcher, turning the defender and clipping in with his first touches of the match.

1203 - GOAL! Man Utd 2-1 Gamba OsakaWell well well, United switch off completely and Osaka make the most of it to get themselves firmly back into the match and send their supporters into apoplectic bliss - Masato Yamazaki getting on the end of a sweeping move and curling past Van der Sar and into the corner from 20 yards. A fine strike.
