Following a goalless draw with Aston Villa before the international break, Manchester United will look to return to winning ways when they take on Brentford in the Premier League round 8. The Red Devils aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are major doubts, while Mason Mount has overcome his injury.
The Bees, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 5-3 win over Wolverhampton, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on Erik ten Hag’s troops this time out. In their last encounter at “Old Trafford” Manchester United defeated Brentford 2-1. Attacking duo Yoane Wissa – Igor Thiago is injured for the visiting side as well as midfielder Josh Dasilva. Mathias Jensen is a major doubt.
Score Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Brentford
