02:26 (IST)4 AUG 2016

That's it from us tonight - Thanks for joining us and do check back for other pre-season friendlies, including the Community Shield on the weekend.

02:25 (IST)4 AUG 2016

Wayne Rooney addresses the Old Trafford crowd and thanks the crowd for their charitable donations, the Everton fans and the club and the United fans for 12 years of support and promises them more trophies.

The applause is understandably, loud.

02:24 (IST)4 AUG 2016

FT: Manchester United 0-0 Everton. The Wayne Rooney Foundation is the only winner tonight, as his testimonial hopefully raises a sizeable amount of money. Jose Mourinho and Ronald Koeman managed to give their players a fantastic runout without any significant injuries - exactly the point of a pre-season game.

02:22 (IST)4 AUG 2016

90+2' Memphis with a teasing inswinging cross, which Joel plucks out of the air.

02:21 (IST)4 AUG 2016

90' 2 minutes of injury time

02:21 (IST)4 AUG 2016

90' Memphis attempts an overhead kick and just ... falls down. Wayne Rooney and Kai Rooney are unable to hide their smiles.

02:18 (IST)4 AUG 2016

88' Wow. Seamus Coleman with something that even does not deserve to be called a cross-shot. Row Z gleefully accepts his gift.

02:15 (IST)4 AUG 2016

85' Hang on! Rashford and Mata nearly fashion a good chance, but Everton get plenty of bodies back to clear.

02:13 (IST)4 AUG 2016

83' This looks like it is destined to be goalless - you can go to sleep.

02:11 (IST)4 AUG 2016

80' CHANCE! Mirallas with a great delivery finds Funes Mori, whose header flashes narrowly over - Old Trafford's gasp of relief is audible.

02:09 (IST)4 AUG 2016

80' Everton have a free kick on the right wing. Rojo with a foolish kick out.

02:08 (IST)4 AUG 2016

77' Mo Besic goes off for Everton - injured. Koeman looks mildly perturbed.

02:07 (IST)4 AUG 2016

76' WE HAVE A SHOT! The ball falls to Mata on the edge of the box, and his shot is cleared for a corner - Fellaini with a header from the subsequent corner does not trouble Robles.

02:06 (IST)4 AUG 2016

75' Oviedo with a rather agricultural tackle on Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Welcome to the Premier League.

02:03 (IST)4 AUG 2016

72' Coleman doesn't hang back as he charges into a 50-50 with Fellaini - the pair kiss and make up though... which is just a metaphor. DO NOT TAKE IT LITERALLY, or do - if you're bored.

02:00 (IST)4 AUG 2016

70' I'm not sure what to report here. There's nothing happening on the pitch - United and Everton look bored as they pass the ball around.

01:56 (IST)4 AUG 2016

66' Great defending! Coleman clears an exquisite ball from deep by Mkhitaryan aimed at Depay.

01:55 (IST)4 AUG 2016

65' Cleverley and Gibson are back at Old Trafford, as Everton make what looks like 9 changes.

01:55 (IST)4 AUG 2016

65' Well, that's this game done. Ibrahimovic goes off for DEPAY!!! No wait, it really is him!

01:54 (IST)4 AUG 2016

64' Pep Guardiola would do well to eschew his chase of John Stones for Holgate - the Everton youngster has looked much better.

01:53 (IST)4 AUG 2016

63' This has really evolved into a snoozefest. This is not the Jose Mourinho side I was promised.... Oh wait.

01:49 (IST)4 AUG 2016

59' Well,he tried. Ibrahimovic takes a low swerving shot from range and watches as it goes wide.

01:48 (IST)4 AUG 2016

58' A rather sedate atmosphere in Old Trafford as the game lives up to its testimonial billing. Dear Zlatan, please light this game up...

01:46 (IST)4 AUG 2016

56' Wayne Rooney in deep conversation with his son, Kai Rooney on the United bench. This is rather an adorable sight, and I'm not sure if rival fans can stomach this side of Wayne Rooney.

01:45 (IST)4 AUG 2016

55' Here's some stunning news for you - former Everton manager Roberto Martinez has just been announced as Belgium manager. Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas might be pleased!

01:43 (IST)4 AUG 2016

53' Wayne Rooney comes off to a standing ovation. Fittingly, Marcus Rashford comes on to replace him.

01:42 (IST)4 AUG 2016

52' WHAT A CHANCE! Coleman's cross from the right falls to Mirallas in the box, and he slams it into the side netting.

01:41 (IST)4 AUG 2016

50' THIS IS A FRIENDLY BOYS! Ashley Young shoves his hand into a quizzical Saemus Coleman's chest - an unseemly sight for a friendly, with referee Michael Oliver calming them down. Moments later, Phil Jones' awkward backpass to De Gea results in a corner.

01:39 (IST)4 AUG 2016

49' There's an entire minute of announcements, as it seems like the Old Trafford announcer is reading a book.

01:38 (IST)4 AUG 2016

01:37 (IST)4 AUG 2016

47' Ashley Young and Holgate in a great competition down the left, with the United winger eventually fouling the Everton youngster. Meanwhile Joel Robles is also on in place of Martin Stekelenberg.

01:35 (IST)4 AUG 2016

46' PEEP PEEP PEEP! Manchester United get us underway in the second half!

01:34 (IST)4 AUG 2016

A host of changes, as Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marouane Fellaini, Marcus Rojo, Ashley Young, Daley Blind, Phil Jones are on for Manchester United. Everton get Kevin Mirallas one.

01:27 (IST)4 AUG 2016

Replays of Wayne Rooney's wondergoal for Everton against Arsenal... Will he ever score a goal like that again? Maybe in the second half, which is minutes away...

01:26 (IST)4 AUG 2016

David Moyes speaking about the first time he saw Wayne Rooney - 'amazed' is how he describes it.

01:18 (IST)4 AUG 2016

HT: A promising first half, with Manchester United having had the better of the chances, and we can look forward to a host of changes in the second half.

01:17 (IST)4 AUG 2016

44' HOW DID HE MISS? Coleman sends in a wonderful cross, and Lukaku is relatively free in the box, but glances his header wide. If Chelsea are interested, the Belgian knocked a few million off his price.

01:16 (IST)4 AUG 2016

43' WHAT A CHANCE! Rooney with a peach of a cross from the right wing, as Stones misses his header and the ball drops to Ibrahimovic at the far post, but Stekelenberg makes himself big and collects the Swede's shot.

01:15 (IST)4 AUG 2016

42' Shaw with a wonderful interception, before he charges to the right flank and aims a cross at the far post, but he is unable to find a Red Devils jersey

01:14 (IST)4 AUG 2016

41' CLOSE! Luke Shaw with a low drive from the left that narrowly misses the post by a couple of inches.

01:13 (IST)4 AUG 2016

40' SHOT! Valencia's cross is cleared by Everton but finds Carrick on the edge of the box, and he responds with a piledriver that Everton manage to block as well.

01:10 (IST)4 AUG 2016

37' A great pass from Rooney in midfield sends Martial clear on the left, but Coleman does well to deny him as he bears down on goal.

01:08 (IST)4 AUG 2016

36' Ibrahimovic with a little shimmy past Barry, before firing a shot at goal that goes wide. The Swede has looked very, very good so far.

01:05 (IST)4 AUG 2016

33' ALMOST! Rooney with a delicious ball to Lingard in the box, but Coleman shoulders him out of the way.

01:04 (IST)4 AUG 2016

32' SAVE! Great work from Lukaku as he dribbles into the box, but his blocked shot falls to Barkley in space in the box, with De Gea doing well to palm away his shot

01:03 (IST)4 AUG 2016

31' David Moyes, Sam Allardyce and Sir Alex Ferguson all sit next to each other in the stands in deep conversation. I wonder what they're discussing...

01:02 (IST)4 AUG 2016

29' Almost! Carrick with a wonderful cross-field diagonal ball almost finds Lingard running behind the Evertonian defence, but Funes Mori makes an acrobatic interception and clears.

01:00 (IST)4 AUG 2016

27' Rooney's low delivery to the near post is cleared - Everton look really solid defensively, with Stones and Holgate shining.

00:59 (IST)4 AUG 2016

27' United are gradually going into the game, with Valencia earning another corner..

00:58 (IST)4 AUG 2016

25' They can't. Despite Rooney getting a great reception from the crowd as he takes the set-piece, Everton eventually get the ball away. Moments later Rooney sends Zlatan clear on the edge of the box, and his shot from a narrow angle is palmed away by Stekelenberg
