Is Man Utd v Brentford on TV tonight? Kick-off time and how to follow match

Manchester United host Brentford at Old Trafford in the Premier League, but the game is not on TV in the UK.

Erik ten Hag has enjoyed a successful first season with the Red Devils, but his last few results have been less than impressive. A 7-0 loss to rivals Liverpool and losing to Newcastle United last weekend has put the pressure back on in the race for a top-four slot.

Thomas Frank's Bees side have had a great season so far, and sit in ninth place level on points with Jurgen Klopp's Reds.

United are chasing Champions League football, and are fifth, level on points with Spurs. However they have two games in hand on the North London outfit.

Why is Manchester United v Brentford not on TV?

Sky, Amazon Prime and BT do not have broadcasting rights to this fixture.

Sky are showing West Ham v Newcastle, with BT Sport broadcasting the Copa del Rey El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The reason Manchester United v Brentford is not on TV is simply that it was not chosen for broadcast in December.

It was supposed to take place on the weekend of the Carabao Cup final, but was moved to April 5 with United going on to win the competition. It could not be resold despite it taking place in the midweek.
