Summer signing Luis Sinisterra was handed his first Whites
start in the fixture but the Colombian international went to ground off the
ball in the 12th minute, holding his left hamstring whilst laid down on the
turf .
The 23-year-old then received treatment on the pitch but the
winger was unable to continue and hobbled off with his arm around club doctor
Rishi Dhand.
Rodrigo was brought on in Sinisterra's place as the winger
headed down the tunnel with United's head of medicine and performance Rob Price.
The contest became increasingly scrappy and niggly as Diego
Llorente, David Ozoh and Joachim Andersen were all booked.
Ozoh was carded for a high boot challenge on Adam Forshaw
who took several hits and Forshaw was then taken off and replaced by Marc Roca
in the 33rd minute.
