Midway through the second half, United are given a chance to take the lead after Ashley Young goes down in the area after playing a neat one-two with Shinji Kagawa. Robin van Persie steps up and slams the spot kick against the post, it's poetic justice as Young's dive after feeling a slight touch from the arm of Markel Bergara, was embarrassing Photograph: Peter Cziborra/Action Images

As the game comes to a close, Marouane Fellaini is sent off after receiving a second yellow card and then just minutes later the referee puts everyone out of their misery when he blows the final whistle. Not even their talisman Wayne Rooney help United to victory. They stay top of the group, although anything other than a win in Leverkusen in three weeks would probably leave them with a nervous final game at home to Shakhta Final score: Real Sociedad 0-0 Manchester United Photograph: Peter Cziborra/Action Images
