#999 |  Ed, Daniel and Dharnish return to discuss United’s 2-1 win over Brentford. They break down United’s fast start to the game before Brentford found space in wide areas and behind the midfield, then credit Michael Carrick for a decisive halftime shift to a back five that helped United control the game. Casemiro and Mainoo’s heavy involvement and defensive output are highlighted, alongside concerns about the difficulty of replacing Casemiro’s all-round contribution next season. The show then previews United v Liverpool this weekend. Are Liverpool’s problems in build-up, defence and with injury good for United?
