Team News

Andre Onana has been facing so much criticism for his unbelievable errors. He made a mistake against Bayern Munich, and he made a mistake against Galatasaray. But Erik Ten Hag is still backing him well, and Onana is likely to start against Brentford. The good news is that Varane and Antony are back again. But Sergio Reguilon remains injured, which means Sofyan Amrabat has to continue from the left-back side. Unfortunately, Lisandro Martinez is unavailable as he has had an operation on his foot. However, Casemiro is eligible to play the domestic game despite having a one-game suspension in the UCL. This means Erik Ten Hag could use his same midfield with Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Bruno Fernandes. In addition, Rasmus Hojlund has become the trump card for Ten Hag. He has scored three goals in two matches in the UCL, including two against Galatasaray. As for the visitors, the have a long injury list. Kevin Schade, Shandon Baptiste, Ben Mee, Mikkel Damsgaard, and Josh Dasilva remain out of the team due to their respective injuries. But Ivan Toney has recovered and returned to the training. The Possible Lineup for Man United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Amrabat; Casemiro, Mount; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund The Possible Lineup for Brentford: Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Hickey; Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Maupay, Wissa

Prediction: Man United 2-1 Brentford

Scoring goals is not a problem for Man United. We have seen Man scored against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. But defense is a massive concern for Erik Ten Hag. In every game, their defense made several mistakes. If Man United can maintain an organized defensive line, it will be easy to beat Brentford FC at Old Trafford.
