Manchester United will lock horns with Brentford in their next Premier League match at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.
The Red Devils are aiming to close the gap with fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur as they want to grab the final Champions League spot.
Meanwhile, the Bees are placed at the 15th spot in the table and they would be hopeful of avoiding the relegation zone. With just seven wins, they have been underwhelming with their performances.
United have had a poor record in attack with just 39 goals in 28 games this season. Rasmus Hojlund has been the top scorer for the club but his absence in the past few weeks was felt by the team.

Both sides have met only 18 times in the past, with Erik ten Hag’s side having the upper hand with 10 wins. Brentford’s last convincing victory over their English rivals came way back in 2022 as they won the game by a huge 4-0 scoreline.
Ten Hag will miss Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo. Bruno Fernandes’ fitness issue is a sign of concern but we believe that he might make it to the game.
Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo will be fit to play in midfield. Jonny Evans would be available for selection but Harry Mgauire’s recent injury scare with England has brought more issues at the back.
Tyrell Malacia, Altay Bayindir and Anthony Martial might also return from injury. Rasmus Hojlund’s return might calm some nerves in the camp.

It is an important match for the Red Devils and every effort matters at this moment. They need to be on their toes and take every game as a final if they want to secure a UCL spot next season.
The desire to play in the world’s most prestigious competition should fuel them to get over Thomas Frank’s Brentford on Sunday. We expect Ten Hag to name a strong starting XI once again.
