Why isn’t Brentford vs Manchester United on TV?

Manchester United return to Premier League action against Brentford on Sunday after Ruben Amorim’s side shone against Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

United won 3-0 in Bilbao and have one foot in the Europa League final, with the return leg to come at Old Trafford on Thursday. Amorim is not prepared to take any chances and could make several changes for the visit to west London.

Brentford sit 10 points above United in the table after Thomas Frank’s side defeated Nottingham Forest on Thursday night and have the chance to add to United’s struggles in the Premier League this season.

When is Brentford vs Manchester United?

The Premier League fixture will kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday 4 May at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Why isn’t it on TV?

The Premier League fixture was originally scheduled for Saturday at 3pm but was moved due to United’s participation in the Europa League. Because it was not initially selected for TV broadcast, it cannot be picked up now - although that rule will change from next season.

Line-ups

Brentford XI: Flekken; Kayode, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis- Potter; Norgaard, Yarmoliuk; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa.
