Manchester United transfer news LIVE plus Kalvin Phillips stance, Erik ten Hag latest

Manchester United will have to wait until Monday night before resuming their fading top-four charge whey they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford in what is their final home game of the season (8pm). Before that meeting both Arsenal and Tottenham find themselves in action.
