Manchester United vs Brentford: Live stream, Time & How to watch

Manchester United will be bidding to take another huge step towards securing Champions League football for next season when they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford on Monday night. United can wrap up a place in the Top 4 with six points from their remaining five matches, and a win over the Bees would go a long way in taking the pressure off with rivals Liverpool coming to town next weekend.

The Red Devils are third in the Premier League table, eight points ahead of sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion with a game in hand, while Brentford are ninth, one point behind seventh-placed Bournemouth heading towards the final straight.

The 20-time English champions picked up a huge three points away to Chelsea last time out, with Matheus Cunha’s first-half goal securing a 1-0 victory, and the team have now been victorious in eight of their 12 matches since Michael Carrick’s arrival as head coach.

Man United will face Liverpool, Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Brighton in their final four league games of the season, and it is then a big summer ahead, with as many as five first-team players potentially arriving to boost the squad for 2026-27.

The Red Devils have actually lost their last two matches against Brentford, although they recorded a 2-1 victory over the Bees in the corresponding match last term.

Another victory on Monday night would strengthen Carrick’s case of securing the job on a long-term basis, but a defeat would leave the team looking over their shoulder ahead of a huge battle with the reigning champions Liverpool next weekend.
