Manchester United are back in action with another Premier League fixture this weekend as they lock horns with an in-form Brentford side in a crucial encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Brentford vs Manchester United Preview
Brentford are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have made a fairly impressive start to the season. The home side pulled off an exceptional comeback to secure a 2-2 draw against Leicester City last week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and have made a poor start to their Premier League campaign. The Red Devils slumped to a 1-0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion last week and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Brentford vs Manchester United Prediction
Manchester United were shockingly poor against Brighton & Hove Albion last week and have several issues to address at the moment. Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford failed to make their mark against Brighton and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Brentford put on an admirable display against Leicester City and will look to replicate their heroics this weekend. The Bees can pack a punch on their day and could hold the Red Devils to a draw on Saturday.
