Manchester United return to action on Saturday afternoon looking for an improved showing as they host Brentford at Old Trafford, following back-to-back defeats on home soil against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, in the Premier League and Champions League respectively.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag is coming under increasing pressure due to both on- and off-field issues, with Jadon Sancho still not back with the first-team squad but Antony having returned off the bench in midweek.<\/p>\n
Brentford haven\u2019t won in five league matches and sit 14th in the table, two points and four places below their weekend hosts. Follow the latest action from the Premier League below and get the <\/em>latest Premier League odds and tips here<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n Wissa finds space to dart into the box from the right-hand side, with his low effort deflecting behind for a corner. Brentford find Hickey again with the same set-piece routine and he shoots from 20 yards out\u2026 but he drags this one a couple of yards wide!<\/p>\n Maguire is involved for the first time as he steps up following good hold-up play from Mbeumo, and the England international trips Hickey on halfway to grant Brentford a free-kick.<\/p>\n Hojlund goes down as Pinnock’s clearance smashes into his face, but he’s quickly back to his feet and will be okay to continue.<\/p>\n United have looked dangerous in recent minutes. Evans floats a long ball into the box, looking for Casemiro’s run to the far post, but Hojlund doesn’t read it and the striker flicks a header comfortably wide.<\/p>\n There are load groans around Old Trafford as Mount sends in another poor kick, which Norgaard clears again. Wissa looks to break down the right, but Rashford gets back to recover the loose ball.<\/p>\n United get forward to win a corner on the left, which is swung in by Mount. It’s a poor delivery, but he’ll get another chance as Norgaard nods it behind.<\/p>\n We’ve had a high-octane start at Old Trafford, with neither team being shy in demonstrating their attacking intent. Mount tracks back well this time to prevent Collins from breaking over halfway.<\/p>\n Yellow Card Aaron Buchanan Hickey<\/p>\n Danger! Now Strakosha’s poor clearance gifts United possession in a good area. Casemiro whips a deep cross towards Rashford, but his header at the far post is poor and it runs behind.<\/p>\n OVER! Brentford work the corner cleverly, finding Hickey on the edge of the box with a routine straight over the training ground. He looks to bend a shot into the top-left corner, but it’s just too high to trouble Onana!<\/p>\nManchester United vs Brentford<\/h3>\n
