Manchester United will be looking to build momentum when they visit the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday for a Premier League clash with struggling Brentford.
The Reds head into the fixture buoyed by a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, their first league win under new manager Ruben Amorim. That result lifted United to 11th place with seven points from five matches, and Amorim will be eager to secure consecutive wins to steady their early-season form.
Brentford, meanwhile, are under pressure after a 3-1 defeat to Fulham in their recent West London derby. The result left Thomas Frank’s side hovering just above the relegation zone in 17th place with four points.
United’s preparations have been complicated by injuries and suspensions. Full-back Noussair Mazraoui and winger Amad Diallo remain sidelined, while influential midfielder Casemiro serves a suspension. However, Diogo Dalot returns to bolster Amorim’s options in defence.
For Brentford, Bryan Mbeumo is expected to feature against his former club, adding extra intrigue to the contest.
With both teams seeking to climb the table, the match promises to be a crucial test of United’s revival and Brentford’s resilience. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday evening.
