Hello, welcome into the latest edition of ESPNFC, Kay Murray, Shaka Hislav and Lil Stevie, who's having some trouble with his chair tonight here in the studio.

0:43.3

Not that we were going to let it go by and mentioned.

0:46.3

Let's get you caught up on what we saw in the Premier League today at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Brentford.

0:52.3

It was two first half goals from Casamiro and Benjamin Chesco that helped Man United beat Brentford. It was two first half goals from Casamiro and Benham

0:54.8

Inchesco that helped Man United beat Brentford 2-1 in this game. And that's how things were.

1:01.2

Another three points for Michael Carrickson.

1:04.8

Here's how things are looking in the table right now. They find themselves 11 points clear

1:09.8

of Brighton in six. So the prospect of

1:13.1

Champions League football is looking a lot better right now. Mario Melchiot is joining us.

1:19.3

So too is former Manchester United player, Phil Jones. Champions League is definitely within the

2:07.6

Look, I've said all along if he does well, I don't see a reason why they can't give it him. He's got a good team behind him with Steve Holland, who I know well from an England set up

Jonathan Woodgate Johnny Evans so he's got he's got a really good squad behind him

2:28.3

and so that people can help him and he's done really well he's got results and we're all
