Brentford were the visitors for the last Premier League match of the season, and one of the better performances from Utd saw them win comfortably.

The team's performance, and farewells to some popular figures, saw an anti-Glazer protest fail to spark and the players were applauded as they thanked fans after the final whistle.

The performance at Arsenal was an improvement when compared to the Liverpool match, but a hugely open match still ended in defeat and it now looks impossible to qualify for the Champions League.

Erik Ten Hag's life is about to get very busy. How many players will the club provide him with, and can he bring about a sharp upturn in form from Bruno and co who have looked so short of confidence this season.

Spurs and Arsenal both lost so a victory, even one over Norwich, was a huge result as the team reignited their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

But, there's a cloud hanging over United's support, and protests at Carrington during the week were followed by a significant gathering of fans who marched to the ground together chanting in opposition to the club's ownership.

We're giving the Everton match a wide berth, although it would've been even wider if Andy had had his way. Hopefully, Erik Ten Hag will provide us with some good news soon.

But, we did find a way to cheer ourselves up, with a visit from Bulgaria's silkiest striker Dimitar Berbatov. He will be back at Old Trafford for a legends' match against Liverpool in May to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation.

It feels like we're reaching the endgame in the recruitment of the club's next permanent manager, and Erik ten Hag is now strongly rumoured to be in pole position. We consider how life might look if the current Ajax boss does take the job.

One man who you can be pretty sure would welcome such an appointment is Donnie van der Beek; United head to his loan club Everton this week with the hosts' Premier League future very much at risk.

Another winnable fixture drifted by at Old Trafford and the season is idling with no trophies to fight for and Champions League qualification disappearing over the horizon.

We think about how the club's latest malaise can be arrested and dream of a gear-shift as abrupt and dramatic as the one seen in recent weeks at Barcelona.
