Manchester United have been held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City in the opening Premier League game of the day.

Jose Mourinho's were denied a win by Joe Allen's late goal at Old Trafford with eight minutes to go.

The point takes Stoke off the bottom of the table and leaves Man United sixth.

After a scoreless first half, United took the lead with 21 minutes to go through the previously out-of-form Anthony Martial who curled in.

But United could not hold onto that lead as Allen capitalised after David De Gea failed to master a Glen Johnson shot and the Welshman applied the finish touch after Jon Walters had hit the bar.

Man United's home record this season reads two wins, one draw and a defeat.
