Half-Time Report: Yeovil Town holding Manchester United in FA Cup

Premier League giants Manchester United are being held at 0-0 by Yeovil Town at the halfway point of their FA Cup third-round clash at Huish Park.

Yeovil Town are holding Premier League giants Manchester United at 0-0 at the halfway point of this afternoon's FA Cup third-round clash at Huish Park.

The hosts made a good start as Kieffer Moore found himself tussling with David de Gea for a cross, before the half-cleared attempt fell to Joe Edwards. His shot from distance, however, flew wide.

In the 20th minute, Yeovil began to mount pressure against the Red Devils, as Stephen Arthurworrey and Nathan Ralph combined to force defensive mistakes from the young visiting back line.

Moments later, Moore and Paddy McNair clashed heads while jostling for a ball, which led to the United defender hitting the ground and needing medical treatment.

The visitors had to wait until the half-hour mark before they registered their first chance on goal, though even then James Wilson's effort proved tame.

Ander Herrera then beat his marker on the edge of the box as first-half injury time loomed, but his shot flew well wide of Jed Steer's goal.

The Glovers succeeded in keeping Louis van Gaal's charges at bay come the half-time whistle, which was greeted by huge cheers from the home crowd.
