#813 | Defeat to Brentford. United's focus may be on progress in the Europa League but this was a reminder of the team's lack of physicality. Despite scoring first through Mason Mount, United went on to concede some basic goals as Brentford bullied Ruben Amorim at set pieces and from wide areas all afternoon. United were much-changed but some very familiar weaknesses were on show. Ed and Dan review the afternoon's action and then look forward to Athletic Bilbao's visit to Old Trafford on Thursday. Then there's United Women who qualified for next season's Champions League after a 2-2 draw against City at Old Trafford.

Basque to the Future

The hosts also talk about the implications of victory, which leaves United on the verge of another Europa League final - tp be played in the same San Mames stadium.
