Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

Joshua's parting shot about Rocky Marciano better than any shot he threw at Usyk tonight. Embarrassing. What an idiot.
really? How are people this bothered and angered by it. That was hilarious.
It was fecking embarrassing. He was having a meltdown!
I still want to see him fight Wilder.
What were they talking to each other? Something about speed and strenght?
I’m gutted now, I turned it off after the winner was announced. What did AJ actually do ?
Not sure it was funny, more cringeworthy and a little concerning. Not something to get riled up about mind you
Whyte rematch perhaps? Not sure where else
No doubt, I speak perfectly good English and I was confused.
Of course he does. Joyce or Wilder.
Prime Tyson or current Usyk , who'd win?
If I was Joshua I'd call it, he's got his money no need for more head Trauma. WWE would actually be a good shout, he's always had good speaking skills.
Go mental.
Thought it was bit Kanye West/Taylor Swift takeover from Joshua that.
What the feck was that from Joshua
No-one is ever beating Usyk on points.
A mauling, brawling, leaning Fury using dirty tricks or a rejuvenated Wilder detonating his right hand would pose a greater threat than AJ. On the other hand, Usyk may have a plan for them, too.
That's AJ done.

Think he's had a good career, started boxing late at 18, championship after a few fights, unified and took risks. He's goes down in history as one of the best British champions.
I mean give me an interview like that after every boxing match. Open mic and let them rip... I'm here for it!
Joshua cuts a WWE style promo in the ring after losing. Minutes later Deontay Wilder's theme music pops and he's running into the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Wilder still loses mind because he's a bum but it was great entertainment.
feck off Hearn.
Honestly no clue what he does. He's not really seemed himself since the first loss against Ruiz. I don't know how much he wants to even still do it.
Took the mic and had a meltdown
Lennox Lewis
.If he has two decent fights after this he could in theory challenge the winner of usyk/Fury
His eyes when he was talking about Fury. He'd be a scary motherfecker to bump into on a dark night.
Pretty sure AJ was shouting at him saying “how did you beat me, you’re not skilled, I’m stronger etc”. That was even more strange than when he grabbed the mic.
He must be concussed, I have no idea why they let him have the mic like that.
Tyson, if you’re speaking about Mike that is
I hope they make the undisputed fight with Fury. He can retire after that.
Seems to be the same for Joshua to be honest. He has gone full Kanye West here
Agreed the HW division is the easiest to rejuvenate but I remember the interview AJ did with Gary Neville I don't think he has the desire to stick around in boxing and he was saying this while being the champion.
Yeah, i heard that too. So confusing
Fury vs Joshua would still be the biggest fight in British history, but it is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Fury would want the lion’s share and Joshua wouldn’t swallow his pride for a likely loss.
Could see Joshua v Wilder maybe, but otherwise he’s better off retiring. Don’t think the clamour is there for one other last home fight either. He’s eroded a lot of support in recent years.
Yeah, I reckon he needs to land one or two and that's it.
He went back to the ring, grabbed the mic and made a fool of himself when he should have fecked off out of it.
What an awful crowd.
To be fair he didn’t, he said “skills matter more. Look at you, you’re not strong, look at me” then went and did whatever the feck that was with the mic.
I think AJ was actually saying "how did you beat me" rhetorically, and suggesting it was because of skill, and they had some disagreement about exactly why Usyk beat him.
I don't think he was being bitter. At least from what I could gather, it's hard to say given how weird AJ acted.

Exactly what came to mind for me.
He said "It isn't about strength, it's skill. You are not strong and you beat me. How did that happen?"
He was basically making the point he tried to make about him not being that level of boxer. The same thing he was saying about not throwing combos like Marciano, seemed to sound like he thought that was a good thing for him. Not sure why but I will put it down to being in a high pressure situation and the adrenaline ect.
