So how do the BBC Sport readers' five-a-side experiences compare?Andy: Once had to wash our own kit, white socks. If they were dirty you got fined £2.

So United have to do something, because they do not have a number nine while Rashford is out - Martial is capable of flashes of brilliance too, but he operates best on the left and clearly wants to be out there. Do they sit and wait for Mason Greenwood to develop? Or could they go and get Edinson Cavani from Paris St-Germain, who does not seem to be getting the game time that he wants?I know players are not easy to get in January, but they are out there.

Howe's half-time team talk seemed - momentarily - to kick some life into his side as Dominic Solanke's deflected shot bounced off the inside of the left post but Joshua King was offside when he headed in the rebound.

Tomic coached Sibenik 2 times and knows most of these players. Lokomotiva is on a higher level and they won a friendly with Sibenik just a month ago on this ground.

There's nothing that can prepare you for being a manager - and I've done every course under the sun, and coaching badges and stuff - and it's brilliant through the week but this is the nitty-gritty. I sat down with both Paul (Hart, assistant manager) and Mick (Harford, chief recruitment officer) just after half-time and I said 'this is how we earn our money', not the Monday to Friday, it's those decisions you make in the heat of the battle.
