The referee blows his final whistle. Thank you for following our live coverage.
90 Schweinsteiger will also miss the second leg after he is sent off! He receives a second booking for a tackle on Wayne Rooney.
90 Bayern are piling on pressure.
89 Bayern defender Javi Martinez is booked for a challenge on Hernandez. Martinez will miss the second leg in Munich.
85 Man United make their final substitution. Striker Javier Hernandez replaces Danny Welbeck.
83 Bayern are totally controlling the game in the last few minutes. Will they be able to emerge winners?
81 A Frank Ribery low cross goes begging.
77 What a chance for Bayern! Arjen Robben misses a sitter following a lay-off from Goetze. His low shot from the edge of the area goes just wide.
75 The final 15 minutes could be very exciting. Bayern do not seem too satisfied about the score, pouring forward en masse to record a win at Old Trafford.
74 Bayern also make a substitution. Playmaker Mario Goetze replaces Toni Kroos.
73 Manchester United winger Ashley Young replaces defender Buttner.
73 The players are arguing after Valencia made a clumsy challenge on Bayern's David Alaba.
71 Robben, as usual, cuts inside on the edge of the area and curls a left-foot shot that goes wide.
70 It seems United winger Valencia has picked up an injury.
67 Substitute Manzukic makes an instant impact by setting up Schweinsteiger for the equaliser. He superbly meets a cross at the far post with a neat header that finds the unmarked Schweinsteiger, whose first-timer goes into the roof of the net.
67 GOOOAAAAAL FOR BAYERN
66 A long-range David Alaba shot is superbly collected by David De Gea.

56 Some tame United crosses are easily cleared by the Bayern defence at the other end.
54 A Robben shot is blocked by the United defence.
52 Neuer rushes out of goal in a timely manner to head the ball away just before it reaches Wayne Rooney on the edge of the area. Man United can still open the scoring via a counter attack.

35 Man United defender Buettner blocks a shot with his arm but the referee waves play on.
31 Arjen Robben lets fly from 20 metres but his curling shot is superbly blocked by a flying save from David De Gea.

14 Bayern are counting on Pep Guardiola's trademark possession-based football.
13 Robben is causing constant menace to United's defence, thanks to his marauding forays.
11 In another swift Bayern move, the overlapping Ribery exchanges passes with Robben and whips in a cross from the right but Phil Jones clears the danger.
10 United are gradually finding their rhythm. It's an evenly-balanced tie so far.
8 First chance for Bayern! winger Arjen Robben cuts inside Michael Carrick and sends a curling effort that narrowly misses the target.
7 Bayern are still in control but United are holding firm.
