Summary

Andy Mitten calls in from Barcelona to Old Trafford where Ian Irving and Carl Anka have just watched Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-1 to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Having already won the Carabao Cup, that meant the club has achieved the famous Mitten Standard of top-four-and-a-trophy, but we're already hungry for more.

Will Mason Mount get Erik Ten Hag's transfer ball rolling this summer? David Ornstein has been reporting on an emerging story for The Athletic.

1:11.7	very shortly. He's just finishing off in Erickson Haag's press conference. And I can say as well
1:16.8	that Andy Mitten is already with us, although not here at the ground. He's over in Spain. But Andy,
1:21.9	from your perspective, what did you think of that tonight? It was a weird game in some ways,

1:31.1	The main thing is that United got the point needed to get into the Champions League for next season.
1:36.3	And we've said it all season. In my opinion, a top four in a trophy was success for this season.
