Half-Time Report: Manchester United trailing MK Dons at break

Manchester United's poor start to the season continues as they go into half time trailing League One side MK Dons 1-0 in the second round of the League Cup.

League One side MK Dons are 45 minutes away from pulling off a famous cup upset having gone into half time with a 1-0 lead over Manchester United in the second round of the League Cup this evening.

United made a bright start to the match and almost took the lead after just five minutes when Reece James found Nick Powell on the edge of the box, but the midfielder's effort was just too high.

The visitors suffered yet another injury blow when Shinji Kagawa was forced off the field in the 20th minute having received a knock to the face earlier in the match.

The hosts were ahead just five minutes later as Ben Reeves pounced on a poor pass from Jonny Evans before sliding the ball to Will Grigg, who had a simple finish from close range.

Louis van Gaal's side could not find a breakthrough of their own before the interval, leaving the Dutchman on the verge of a third match without a victory at the start of his managerial reign.
