Mason Mount after scoring in Manchester United's defeat against Brentford: "It's very difficult when you're getting injuries and little setbacks here and there but I've tried to stay positive since I've been back fit by building up minutes and biding my time.
"It was a great opportunity for me to start, and it was just about trying to have an impact in the game and helping the young players around me - I'm a little bit more experienced than some of them so I was just trying to speak to everyone.
"It was great for me to get to get the goal, but as a team there is a lot more to work on. We'll be back."
'Champions League? Lucky not to be in the Championship' - the fans' verdictpublished at 09:32 5 May
Steve: Absolutely awful. Scored three (two consolation goals) but shipped four. Do they think they need to be in a losing position before it's worth playing? They are not good enough to give teams a two or three-goal head start.
Michael: This was treated at the same level as a pre-season friendly, and the third youngest line-up in Premier League history proved it. It was a good runout for the second string and they only just came up short
Matt: How can we even consider selling Alejandro Garnacho? He's a bright, creative spark, running with the ball, an exciting, dynamic winger. The sooner we go back to width and crosses into the box (Amad Diallo and Garnacho), the sooner Hojlund starts firing. End this turgid possession-based football. It's tedious and gets us nowhere!
Chris: Another loss is disappointing, but the team is getting better and competing until the very end. Convinced the team will be competing for a top-six finish next season once the manager gets a few players he wants.
Tristen: The display was to be expected, as it was a much changed XI and we have a poor squad. Having said that, I can't believe our manager is talking about Champions League football next season already. We are lucky not to be playing Championship football, not the Champions League.
Ron: Good that our young players are being given a chance. This was never a crucial game, as our league position was never going to improve to any reasonable level. It's all about Europe.
Iagocymru: I understand we are resting players for the Europa League second leg next week, but what has improved since Ruben Amorim first started? How much difference is one summer transfer window going to make, going off previous ones? I'm just not sure. Fifteenth place? Something we need to get used to, maybe.
Man Utd youngsters showed 'lack of knowhow'published at 09:28 5 May

Former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney says he "really felt" for 17-year-old forward Chido Obi during the Red Devils' 4-3 defeat to Brentford, as Ruben Amorim named the third youngest Premier League starting XI of any club ever.
Speaking on Match of the Day 2, Rooney said: "It did show at times. I think it showed with the lack of movement and knowhow on the pitch.
"The build-up was slow with balls going back to the goalkeeper and getting moved around slowly at the back, plus there was no movement from anyone to get on the ball.
"They had a 17-year-old lad up front - the youngest-ever to start a Premier League game for Manchester United - and they were just launching balls up to him.
"I really felt for [Chido] Obi because you could tell how inexperienced he is and then it also looked like he had no help. They were just throwing balls up to him.
"There was no intensity or organisation in Manchester United's pressing. There was lots of space for Brentford to do what they wanted to do and it was easy for them to deal with Obi up top."
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy added: "I get that there were young players out there and they were playing against a good team, but Ruben Amorim only plays this system.
"He has been there for a while now and when you play a system that much and you work on it in training, surely we should be able to see some improvement - regardless of who is playing - because they should be organised."
Finally, United could make an offer for 26-year-old Barcelona and Uruguay defender Ronald Araujo, if they qualify for the Champions League. (Football365), external

Mason Mount scored his second Manchester United goal
Manchester United lost for the 16th time in the Premier League this season with a 4-3 defeat by Brentford in north-west London.
Midfielder Mason Mount gave the visitors the lead with his second goal for the club, finishing off a fine cross from winger Alejandro Garnacho.
But Brentford scored four without reply, levelling through an own goal by defender Luke Shaw before taking the lead through Kevin Schade.
The 23-year-old grabbed his second of the game, heading in a cross by Bryan Mbeumo before Yoanne Wissa scored a fourth.
Garnacho scored a stunning long-range strike to cut the deficit to two, before winger Amad Diallo scored in the fifth minute of injury time to ensure it was a nervy finish for the Bees.
The defeat leaves United in 15th, on 39 points from 35 matches.
Attention switches now to Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, with United holding a 3-0 aggregate lead.
If defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium wasn't bad enough, injury to Matthijs De Ligt made the afternoon even worse.
The Dutchman went down before Brentford's second goal and was replaced by Harry Maguire.
'I liked the performance of the young players'published at 17:04 4 May

Ruben Amorim spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Manchester United's defeat against Brentford: "I liked [the performance of] the young kids. I liked how we controlled the game without many occasions to score. In first 30 mins we struggle with set pieces but we already knew we didn't have the height to fight that. In second half we are near the draw and we suffer two goals like we did in beginning when we suffer one and let it go. We fight but in the end we lose but good things for the future."
On changes to his starting line-up: "We as a club we need to understand in this moment we have a big responsibility. We have to prepare a squad for different competitions.
On injury to De Ligt: "I don't know. We will see. I hope it's nothing serious. We took a risk with Maguire. Shaw had to go out because we need players for Thursday.
On the second leg against Bilbao: "I think it's stressful to lose games. When we're fighting for a title it's not stressful."

With an average age of 22 years and 270 days, Manchester United's starting XI against Brentford was the third-youngest any side has ever named for a Premier League match, behind only Middlesbrough v Fulham in May 2006 (20y 181d) and Arsenal v Portsmouth in May 2009 (22y 237d).
Aged 17 years 156 days, Chido Obi was the youngest player ever to start a Premier League match for Manchester United. He was one of six starters aged 20 or younger for the Red Devils against Brentford, with only Middlesbrough ever starting as many or more in a single Premier League match (8 vs. Fulham in May 2006).

We know Manchester United are going to make changes here, because seeing out the second leg of their Europa League semi-final with Athletic Bilbao is their priority.
Ruben Amorim's side nicked a point at the very end of their game at Bournemouth last weekend, which sparked mass celebrations, but I really don't see them doing the same against Brentford - they won't be getting the bunting out this time.
The Bees are such a dangerous team when they come forward and they will keep on attacking United. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa should get plenty of chances and I can see them getting a goal or two between them.
'Cunha has everything a United team would want'published at 12:02 3 May

The Manchester United players and coaching staff know the importance of the Europa League in terms of reaching the Champions League and what that means for finances and recruitment.
And United have to recruit in the summer - that is a must.
With the players they have at the minute, they are better suited to European football as opposed to the Premier League and the physical output it demands.
They have the players to win the Europa League - but given the team they are, doing so is more important for fellow crisis club Tottenham.
He has had moments of ill-discipline this season, but a lot of that can be chalked up to the frustration that comes with being in a relegation battle for long periods and playing alongside players you are better than.
You cannot question the qualities he possesses and the attitude he has in-game in terms of wanting to do anything to win.
Cunha would bring a big boost to United and if they were to recruit other players alongside him, I think you would see that frustration a lot less.
I really like him as a player and think he would be a real positive for Ruben Amorim.
United are lucky they still have their historic appeal and reputation as a club, so players of the Brazilian's quality and potential want to move there.
If he does, there is no doubt he improved the squad.

Amorim to make changes at Brentfordpublished at 13:30 2 May

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says he will not "risk" some players in the trip to Brentford on Sunday.
United are in control of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao, but with a Premier League game in between the two legs, Amorim outlined what the priorities are.
"The first thing is that the players at risk of injury will not play," he said.
"For example, Noussair [Mazraoui] is at risk and we have to manage the players. We will assess today, and the next day, and pick the best players available.
"The process is going to be tough, but we are Manchester United and we can't go in to a game without thinking that we can win."
Another positive for United on Thursday was the return of Amad Diallo for the first time since February.
The 22-year-old came on as a late substitute for Patrick Dorgu in Bilbao, and Amorim is happy to see him back on the pitch.
"Losing Amad was really tough for us," he said. "It was also hard for Amad because he had been playing so well for us.
"He is a player with different characteristics to [Alejandro] Garnacho because he is strong on his left foot, so now we have more options and this is massive for us."
'Professional performance' as 'leaders stepped up'published at 13:08 2 May

Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson says Manchester United put in "a very professional performance" against Athletic Bilbao and it is a massive step towards a place in the Europa League final.
"That is the best I have seen them play under Ruben Amorim," said Robinson on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "They were excellent.
"Granted, they were playing against 10 men but they still had to do a job. In the first 20 minutes they came under pressure, but they rode the storm and then the penalty changed the game.
"United completely controlled the game and it was a very professional performance to go three goals up by half-time.
"This formation and style seems to suit European football. Not conceding was the important thing for them and it was an excellent performance to preserve that."
Ex-United defender Phil Jones also praised "the key spine" of United players that really stepped up to the occasion.
Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Harry Maguire "were the leaders", said Jones.
He added: "There have been a lot of times this season where members of that team have been criticised - and rightly so - because a club of this stature should never lose 15 Premier League games in a season.
"But there is no way you can criticise them them in the Europa League."
