  2. Which position needs strengthening the most?published at 11:53 28 March

    Michael Brown

    BBC Sport pundit Michael Brown has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.

    Simon asked: If you had to choose one of the three - defence, midfield or attack- which would you reshape for next season at Manchester United and why?

    Michael replied: They have a lot of options in wider areas and options up front with Rasmus Hojlund coming back in. The full-back positions are key for Manchester United. They have not had two consistently throughout the season. That applies to the centre-back roles too.

    What is going to be the future for Lisandro Martinez? There is also talk of Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire leaving.

    No matter what area they strengthen, they need to have a better understanding of how to get the ball back when they are out of possession in games.

  4. 'If you're good enough, you're old enough'published at 17:06 27 March

    Your views graphic

    We asked if it would be the right call to take Kobbie Mainoo to Euro 2024 after the Manchester United midfielder shone against Belgium on Tuesday.

    Here is a snapshot of your comments, with most of you keen to see him don the Three Lions shirt in Germany:

    Ben: If you're good enough, you're old enough. The kid clearly has the temperament, the skill and the drive to help England win football games. Why would you not include him?

    Scott: He should go. Play as many minutes as Gareth Southgate sees fit in the group stages. If he performs well, play him for a few minutes in the knockouts. As long as he comes back fit for United...

    Christine: Kobbie should go to the Euros - he is a fantastic young talent. He is like a Paul Scholes and Roy Keane rolled into one, with a splash of Zinedine Zidane. One day, he will win the Ballon d'Or. Trouble is, Southgate probably won't take him and that will be a mistake.

    Steve: Some players need protecting and introducing slowly, to limit weight of expectation. Others, like Ryan Giggs, Lee Sharpe, the Class of 92 and Marcus Rashford, are ready to step up because they have the right temperament and maturity. Mainoo seems to fit the latter. He was sublime against Belgium. He was fluid and forward-thinking and his link-up with Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Jarrod Bowen was excellent. He is better than the alternatives already.

    Kevin: My biggest concern is that he may get injured. He never backed down on Tuesday, to his credit, but took some hard knocks. I'd rather he doesn't go this time - not that he isn't good enough, but let him grow, develop and mature a bit more first. He could be a great player.

    Iain: Mainoo should be cosseted by the club in the same way that they looked after Giggs as a teenager. United have a real reputation for bringing on well-grounded teenagers and dropping Kobbie into the glare of the Euros would be a mistake.

  6. Brentford v Man Utd: Pick of the statspublished at 14:50 27 March

    • Brentford have lost seven of their past nine league meetings with Manchester United, but they did win this fixture 4-0 last season.

    • United's seven league visits to Brentford have produced 30 goals, an average of 4.3 per game. Both of their top-flight defeats at the Bees have been by a 4-0 scoreline (October 1936 and August 2022).

    • Erik ten Hag's side have won just one of their past eight Premier League away games against London sides, and have lost four of their past five.

    • Only the bottom two sides, Burnley and Sheffield United, have lost more Premier League games than Brentford this season. Since a three-game winning run in October/November, the Bees have won just three of their past 18.

    • United have won more games by a one-goal margin - 12 of their 15 victories - than any other side in the Premier League this season.

  7. 'I know how hard it can be when there is clamour' - Bellingham on Mainoopublished at 11:13 27 March

    Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham was asked about the performance of Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo on Tuesday, after the 18-year-old made his first senior England start in the 2-2 draw with Belgium.

    Bellingham, 20, netted the leveller late on at Wembley and has experienced similar media attention in the past, when he burst on to the international scene in 2020 at the age of 17.

    "He was good tonight," said Bellingham to Channel 4 when asked about Mainoo's performance.

    "I know how hard it can be when there is there is clamour and people put pressure on you.

    "He is a brilliant player and I am sure he is going to have a great career at Manchester United, and hopefully for England as well."

    Our chief football writer Phil McNulty noted Kobbie Mainoo delivered "a performance of real maturity and quality" for England against Belgium on Tuesday.

    He went on to say the Manchester United midfielder is "almost on the plane" for Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad.

    But would that be the right thing for an 18-year-old who has fewer than 25 senior appearances to his name?

    Would it be better for him to have a summer away from the piercing spotlight of England duty and continue his development quietly at Carrington?

  9. Mainoo 'made real case' to be in Euro squadpublished at 09:29 27 March

    Kobbie Mainoo became the third-youngest Manchester United player to start for England, behind Duncan Edwards and Marcus Rashford

    A few months ago, only a few people knew the name Kobbie Mainoo. Now, the 18-year-old is in the mix to play for England at Euro 2024.

    The Manchester United midfielder, who has made only 23 appearances in his first full season for the club, now has two senior England caps to his name.

    After making his debut as a substitute against Brazil, Mainoo was handed a starting place by Gareth Southgate in Tuesday's friendly with Belgium.

    "You just can't stop being impressed by this young man," said former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "He's played less than 25 games for Manchester United but he's had an impact on Southgate and has been promoted into the first team."

    Aged 18 years and 342 days, Mainoo became the third-youngest United player to start a game for England, behind Duncan Edwards(18y 183d) and Marcus Rashford (18y 209d).

    "Quite often from an international point of view, we're guilty of promoting players too young and they don't even make it off the bench," added Robinson. "This isn't the case with Mainoo.

    "He's come into the side and straight into the starting line-up. There might be players missing through injury but he's made a real case to be included in the Euro squad.

    "He adds versatility to the midfield and he looked calm and comfortable with the ball."

  12. The three things United need between now and the end of the seasonpublished at 12:23 26 March

    Manchester United fan's voice graphic

    Manchester United have endured a disappointing season compared with the success of Erik ten Hag's maiden campaign.

    But, to finish on a high and ensure the first full season of the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era is given the best chance of succeeding, three things need to happen between now and the summer:

    Seal three key appointments

    A compensation package must be agreed with Newcastle United to ensure Dan Ashworth starts his sporting director role this summer.

    Jason Wilcox should also be in place as technical director, alongside a performance director.

    Win the FA Cup

    United have a great chance to ensure that thrilling 4-3 win over Liverpool was part of an FA Cup-winning run.

    Lifting a 13th - potentially in the second successive Manchester derby final - would be the sweetest of conclusions.

    Retain Champions League status

    That said, that domestic trophy did not save Louis van Gaal from the sack in 2016 when he failed to qualify for the Champions League.

    It's often too huge a financial blow to go unpunished. Ten Hag needs to finish in the top four (or potentially the top five).

  13. 'Happy to put him on at any moment' - Southgate on Mainoopublished at 11:32 26 March

    England boss Gareth Southgate says Kobbie Mainoo is ready to start for England after making his international debut against Brazil on Saturday.

    The 18-year-old has been a shining light for Manchester United this season and received a late call-up for the Three Lions after originally being named in the under-21 squad for this window.

    Before England host Belgium on Tuesday, Southgate said he has already demonstrated his faith in the teenager.

    "We put him in the team as the game went on the other day - when it was 0-0 against Brazil," said Southgate. "That would suggest we would be happy to put him on the pitch at any moment.

    "We will be mindful of how quickly we go with a young player. Part of the opportunity is scarcity of options in that area of the pitch - the other part is he is playing extremely well and developing extremely well with his club.

    "He has settled into our group with no problems at all and he looks completely at home."

  14. 'I don't think they are even slightly interested in Southgate'published at 09:12 26 March

    BBC Radio Manchester's Gaz Drinkwater spoke to the The Devils' Advocate podcast about United's reported interest in Gareth Southgate as their next manager: "I don't believe any of the reports - I don't think they are even slightly interested in Southgate. This is me coming from a logic standpoint.

    "Sir Jim Ratcliffe is going to want to make decisions that unite the fanbase and bringing in Southgate as manager would not be that decision.

    "I admire someone who is going out and making decisions based on what he and his team thinks is right and not really caring what certain fans think. When we appointed Jose [Mourinho], [Louis] Van Gaal, [Erik] Ten Hag, everyone was happy with that. [David] Moyes was the only one that people weren't sure.

    "I don't see a style of play [with Southgate]. I think he's the sort of manager that you bring in to a fractured dressing room to try and unite everyone. I don't think United's dressing room is as fractured as people think."

  18. Would Euro success open Old Trafford door for Southgate?published at 16:53 25 March

    Phil McNulty - Chief football writer

    BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions on the Premier League and issues arising during the international break.

    James asked: Would Euros success or failure be more likely to nudge Gareth Southgate towards Old Trafford?

    Phil replied: First of all we have to stress... Southgate, as yet, has expressed no concrete view on his England future after Euro 2024.

    As for Manchester United, if England won Euro 2024 then of course this would improve his chances of landing a big club job, such as the one at Old Trafford, if he wanted it.

    I would hazard a guess that if England do not win Euro 2024 then the possibility would recede.

  19. 'Inconsistency has been a killer' - your biggest gripes of the seasonpublished at 13:00 25 March

    Your views banner

    We asked you what the most irritating thing at your club has been this season, whether it be inconsistency, injuries or a player failing to deliver.

    Here are some of your replies:

    Rob: Manchester United have been woeful this season. I've been watching the capitulation when things have gone against them and seeing some matches when some players just don't seem bothered. Rashford looks uninterested sometimes and then, frustratingly, after all of it, when it's so obvious that it's happening, Ten Hag comes out and defends them.

    Richard: Style of play is poor, in fact there doesn't appear to be one. I don't expect United to win every trophy they are in or challenge for the league at this moment, but I do wish the team would get me off my seat by playing exciting football and scoring lots of goals. It is so frustrating watching United - it is boring at the minute.

    Iain: Inconsistency has been a killer for United this year, especially at the beginning of the season. There are plenty of factors that have brought this about: injuries to last year's key players, squad depth/true quality issues, too much spent on too few players and a distracting sale process. Hopefully, the new structure will help Erik next year.

  20. 'I am still unconvinced by Maguire' for Englandpublished at 11:22 25 March

    Phil McNulty - Chief football writer

    BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions on the Premier League and those players on international duty.

    Vicky Gaskin asked: Are you surprised at just how loyal Gareth Southgate is to Harry Maguire? He looked shaky again against Brazil on Saturday and he’s had limited game time at Manchester United this season.

    Phil replied: No, I’m not surprised, Vicky, because Gareth Southgate is very loyal to those he believes have delivered for him - although I am still unconvinced by Maguire for this summer's Euros.

    Maguire made a passionate defence of his England record last week and he has every right to do that seeing as he played in a team that reached the World Cup semi-final in 2018, the final of Euro 2020 and then the 2022 World Cup quarter-final.

    I do feel that area might be a weak link at Euro 2024 but at the moment no big alternative jumps out and Southgate is a big fan of Maguire’s partnership with John Stones. He also feels Maguire has never let him down for England and sees no need, at this stage, to consider replacing him.

  22. The left-hand-side 'dilemma' - England XI for Euros - published at 17:19 22 March

    BBC Sport pundit Michael Brown
    Pickford, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Chilwell, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Saka and Kane

    England do not have a natural player who would be our obvious number one on the left-hand-side and it is a slight concern given it is not as clear-cut as other areas of the pitch.

    Do you play Phil Foden out on the left and bring and let Kobbie Mainoo, Conor Gallagher or Kalvin Phillips force their way in? This is my dilemma.

    If we are talking on current form then Cole Palmer gets the nod from me. Ideally you would not want to play Palmer in that position, but he has done it before.

    Foden could go central or off the left-hand-side.

    Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is also an extremely experienced player who can play in that role. He just needs a good eight remaining weeks of the season.

    There is one other curveball. Does Gareth Southgate see Trent Alexander-Arnold in that other midfield spot? If he does, then that would release Foden out on to the left.

    We also know Jack Grealish can play off that left-hand-side but he needs to get back from injury because he could be a late push for that position as well. He has got to get back and play some minutes for Manchester City, but he could fit there.

    We’re going to see Gareth Southgate’s hand in these next two friendlies. Let’s see how he starts against Brazil. Will he use it to work on that midfield three and use Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Foden?
