On the occasion of the 8th day of the Premier League, Manchester United welcome Brentford (kick-off 4 p.m., a match to follow live on FM). Both teams are sick and want to get back on track before the break. The Reds Devils, 10th with 9 pts, are going through a delicate moment with only three victories in the league and above all two defeats in the Champions League, the last of which was at home against Galatasaray (2-3). 14th, Brentford is not doing any better with only one victory in seven days and seven points on the clock.
Erik Ten Hag faces a cascade of injuries (Shaw, Martinez, Wan-Bissaka, Reguillon, Malacia), which forces him to tinker behind with an Evans-Maguire hinge. Lindelof will play on the right with Dalot on the left. Amrabat finds a recovery position with Casemiro. Up front, Hojlund is supported by Mount, Bruno and Rashford. On the Brentford side, Thomas Frank opts for a 3-5-2 with an attack well known to fans of French football Mbeumo-Wissa. Roerslev and Hickey will liven up the sides while the Norwegian Ajer will be the main man in the defense.
The official compositions:
Manchester United : Onana – Lindelof, Maguire, Evans, Dalot – Casemiro – Amrabat – Mount, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford – Hojlund.
Brentford: Strakosha – Collins, Ajer, Pinnock – Roerslev, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Hickey – Mbeumo, Wissa.
