Man United will be looking to get back on track in the Premier League on Saturday when the Red Devils host Brentford at Old Trafford. The visitors will be looking to end a five-game winless run.
Premier League Preview
A huge match at Old Trafford awaits Man United this weekend, as the Red Devils look to get back on track in front of their home fans after losing each of their last two in the league at the Theatre of Dreams. United come into this match sitting tenth in the standings, but a victory could lift them up a place to ninth.
The Red Devils have endured a poor start to the new season, as they have lost four of their opening seven matches, which includes defeats in three of their previous four. United look light in the final third of the field, as they have scored just seven goals across their opening seven matches. Erik ten Hag’s side were beaten for the second straight game at Old Trafford on Saturday, as they were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace.
Brentford will also have a point to prove this weekend, as the Bees are sliding toward the relegation places after failing to win across their last five matches in the Premier League. The Bees at least ended a two-game losing run in their previous match, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.
Thomas Frank lamented refereeing decisions following that tie, as he believed that his side should have been awarded a penalty following a foul on Yoanne Wissa in the second period. Their only effort was netted by Christian Norgaard, before the hosts drew level with 25 minutes remaining on the clock.
Man United vs Brentford Head to Head
United have won three of their four Premier League matches against the Bees, which includes both of the previous two clashes between the sides at Old Trafford. Their most recent win was a 1-0 success at the Theatre of Dreams in April. However, Brentford did land a 4-0 win on matchday two last term.
Man United vs Brentford Prediction
Something needs to change for United, as the pressure is mounting following a really poor start to the new season. However, this will be a testing fixture against a Brentford side that are very good on the break. For that reason, we could see the Bees picking up maximum points on Saturday.
