Manchester United face a defining few weeks in their season as they chase two further trophies and Champions League football. Erik ten Hag's side are in the Europa League quarter-finals and the last four of the FA Cup, where they face Sevilla and Brighton respectively. United are also in the thick of the top four race in the Premier League.
They lost ground on that front at the weekend, losing 2-0 at rivals Newcastle United. The win moved the Magpies into third, above United on goal difference, and Ten Hag's men could drop a further place if Tottenham avoid defeat against Everton on Monday night.
It means United's game at home to Brentford on Wednesday is crucial for their Premier League aspirations as they seek to end a three-game winless run in the top flight. The visit of the Bees to Old Trafford is followed by a home match against relegation-threatened Everton, while United also have Nottingham Forest, Tottenham and Aston Villa to play in the league, as well as an FA Cup semi-final against Brighton.
