'Minute-by-minute' play - scroll down to bottom.

45 mins +1: Dennis Wise and Paul Scholes tangle continuously in the penalty area as United prepare to take a free-kick on the stroke of half-time. A sign of things to come after the break perhaps...

44 mins: GOAL Man Utd 1-0 Millwall
United patiently work the ball to the right, and Gary Neville crosses to the far post for Ronaldo to head home. The Portuguese teenager deserves the goal for an impressive first-half performance.

41 mins: Suddenly the ball breaks to Ronaldo and he wriggles free to shoot, only to be denied by Andy Marshall and Darren Ward scrambling across the goalline.

37 mins: United are less dominant as the half progresses, with their passing less crisp than earlier. That, in part, is due to Millwall's determined display.

33 mins: A fan runs onto the pitch and has to be escorted away while play continues.

29 mins: Millwall fail to clear a Ryan Giggs cross but Ronaldo drags his shot wide.

25 mins: At last some pressure from Millwall as the Lions force a couple of corners, and spread momentary panic in the Man Utd backline.

21 mins: Roy Keane flicks the ball up and hits a superb long-range right-foot volley which Millwall keeper Andy Marshall brilliantly tips over the bar.

17 mins: More great skill from Ronaldo as he dances through the Millwall midfield. He is eventually brought down, and Dennis Wise appears to push him to the ground. Other players get involved, including United's Darren Fletcher, but referee Jeff Winter steps in to calm the situation. From the resulting free-kick, Ronaldo rifles the ball just wide.

13 mins: Ryan Giggs runs onto a long ball from Roy Keane, but Millwall keeper Andy Marshall comes out to challenge him and the ball runs out for a goal kick. United are controlling the match so far though.

8 mins: Cristiano Ronaldo, wearing golden boots for the final, crosses from the right but Paul Scholes fails to connect.

4 mins: The first real chance of the match, and it goes to Man Utd, with Ruud van Nistelrooy heading a Paul Scholes cross narrowly wide.

1 min: Millwall have settled well enough in the early skirmishes.
