The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford take on Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in an important clash at Old Trafford on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Manchester United vs Brentford Preview
Brentford are in 11th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers by a comprehensive 5-3 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table and have struggled this season. The Red Devils were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Aston Villa in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
