Brentford vs Manchester United: Match Preview

A sobering 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton reminded the Dutchman of the job he has on at Old Trafford, while the Bees drew 2-2 at Leicester from two goals down. United can at least take hope from their comfortable double over Brentford last season as they travel to the capital.

Both clubs began the new Premier League season last Sunday afternoon and swiftly found themselves trailing 2-0. Thomas Frank's tactical rejig on the hour-mark managed to earn Brentford a share of the spoils but the ace up Erik ten Hag's sleeve of Cristiano Ronaldo failed to overturn the deficit at Old Trafford.

Team News:

Brentford:

Brentford will again be missing three players for this weekend's contest, with Kristoffer Ajer, Sergi Canos and Ethan Pinnock unavailable for selection.

Dasilva impressed off the bench against Leicester and could now come in for a start, but it might otherwise be the same team that took to the field for the first whistle against the Foxes.

As a result, Toney should be joined in the final third by Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa, leaving Lewis-Potter on the bench, while Damsgaard could also make the squad following his recent arrival.

Manchester United:

As for Man United, Anthony Martial missed out last weekend due to a hamstring problem, and the Frenchman will again be absent for this match.

Brandon Williams, Facundo Pellistri and Victor Lindelof are also unavailable through injury, while Mason Greenwood is still suspended for the 20-time English champions.

Ten Hag has a huge decision when it comes to Ronaldo, who featured off the bench against Brighton, and it would certainly not be a surprise to see the Portuguese start, especially with Martial still on the sidelines.

Ronaldo could potentially come in for Scott McTominay, with Eriksen moving back into a deeper area, while Raphael Varane and Malacia are also pushing for spots in the starting side, but Luke Shaw should retain his spot at left-back, with Martinez joining club captain Harry Maguire in the middle.
