Manchester United returns to action this weekend to play host to Brentford with head coach Erik ten Hag hopeful of three points to stay in charge at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils signed off for the October international break after a 0–0 draw at Aston Villa. United opted to stick with ten Hag for the time being even though the team sits in 14th place in the Premier League table with just eight points and two wins through seven matches.
While United's performances have been far from impressive this season, ten Hag has been rather unlucky with injuries in his squad. Key players like Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo are all expected to remain sidelined through late November/early December with their respective injuries. Longtime left-back Luke Shaw has yet to make an appearance this season as he's still dealing with a calf injury suffered in early August.
Veterans Harry Maguire and Mason Mount are doubts for the contest with knocks while the young Alejandro Garnacho is unlikely to play due to a knee problem. While many might see United as favorites against Brentford, Thomas Frank's team is typically one of the hardest to beat with only three defeats to Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
Here's how the Red Devils could lineup against Brentford this weekend.
