FULL-TIME: Manchester United 1-1 Leicester City. A dramatic first half saw each side grab a goal through Martial and then Morgan, but a largely uninspiring second half saw neither team able to grab a second goal. Leicester will now need to rely on Chelsea getting a result against Tottenham tomorrow if they want to win the league this week, but still have two more matches to wrap up the title. The result means Manchester United's top four hopes have taken a massive dent and it looks unlikely they'll be able to sneak into the last Champions League spot.

20:25 (IST)1 MAY 2016

90+3': United are pushing Leicester but have been wasteful with possession. Leicester have a freekick in what should be the last chance of the game.

20:24 (IST)1 MAY 2016

90+1': A ball is sent across the outside of the box by Martial and Schmeichel manages to beat an open Rooney to the ball and clear it.

20:22 (IST)1 MAY 2016

90': United are looking bereft of ideas up forward now and look unlikely to grab a winner...

20:21 (IST)1 MAY 2016

United will really need to push for it in these final minutes if they want to make the top four!

20:21 (IST)1 MAY 2016

90': There will be four minutes of added time.

20:21 (IST)1 MAY 2016

89': Memphis hits the freekick into the wall and it falls back to Rooney who hits a shot towards the top right corner, but it's not hard enough and Schmeichel saves comfortably.

20:20 (IST)1 MAY 2016

88': Rooney's freekick is hard at goal but Schmeichel deflects it out. United have another freekick on the edge of the area.

20:19 (IST)1 MAY 2016

87': Sub for Leicester - Mahrez comes off for Andy King. Rooney and Mata stand over the freekick.

20:18 (IST)1 MAY 2016

85': Danny Drinkwater pulls down Memphis as he drives into the box and is sent off for a second yellow. However Memphis appeared to be inside the area and United are unlucky not to have a penalty. Controversey.

20:16 (IST)1 MAY 2016

83': United will need to push for a win here if they want any chance of the top four, while Leicester can hold onto a draw and potentially win the title if Chelsea beat or draw Tottenham tomorrow.

20:14 (IST)1 MAY 2016

82': United are again dominating possession but are creating few chances.

20:13 (IST)1 MAY 2016

81': Sub for United - Memphis replaces Rashford.

20:13 (IST)1 MAY 2016

79': After a promising United attack, Leicester hit on the counter and Mahrez reaches Ulloa, who fires a looping shot towards goal but Rooney manages to pass back to De Gea with his head.

20:09 (IST)1 MAY 2016

77': Rooney crosses into the box and reaches the head of Smalling who puts the ball onto the outside of the right post, beating the diving Schmeichel. Unlucky.

75': Martial rushes into the Leicester box and sends a hard pass across goal but it goes wide.

20:08 (IST)1 MAY 2016

20:06 (IST)1 MAY 2016

74': Fellaini is replaced by Ander Herrera.

20:06 (IST)1 MAY 2016

20:04 (IST)1 MAY 2016

20:02 (IST)1 MAY 2016

70': Mahrez dances around the United defence on the edge of the box before unleashing a powerful shot which is punched away by De Gea.

20:01 (IST)1 MAY 2016

69': A corner for Manchester United sees Fellaini head the ball high and wide. One of few chances for either side this half.

60': Sub for Manchester United - Lingard is replaced by Juan Mata.

19:52 (IST)1 MAY 2016

60': United certainly aren't playing as they did in the first half and are struggling to create any chances. They're starting to look much more like the toothless side that we've seen over the past 18 months.

19:50 (IST)1 MAY 2016

54': Lingard receives a yellow card for a late challenge.

19:49 (IST)1 MAY 2016

57': Rashford is released by Rooney on the left and Drinkwater impedes him. The former United defender receives a yellow card.

19:47 (IST)1 MAY 2016

55': Lingard cuts in onto his right foot from just outside the area and looks to bend a shot into the top right corner, but it's caught by Schmeichel .

19:46 (IST)1 MAY 2016

54': Leicester have undoubtably been the better team in the first 10 minutes of the second half and are really pressuring Manchester United.

19:45 (IST)1 MAY 2016

19:39 (IST)1 MAY 2016

47': Martial receives the ball inside the left of the area and creates space to open himself up for a shot, however his attempt goes high and wide past the top right corner.

19:38 (IST)1 MAY 2016

46': A corner for Leicester see's Morgan AGAIN beat Rojo in the air, however the header is saved easily by De Gea.
