Latest MU vs Brentford team information
Manchester United are in the midst of an injury crisis with up to 10 first-team players missing. Leny Yoro (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Harry Maguire (muscle) are all sidelined, while Noussair Mazraoui is absent after surgery to treat a heart arrhythmia.
Manuel Ugarte limped off during Uruguay's training camp and will be assessed, while injury-prone Luke Shaw (calf), Mason Mount (knockout), Kobbie Mainoo (hamstring), Alejandro Garnacho (knee) and Amad Diallo (illness) are also concerns.
There are rumours that Erik ten Hag could play Jonny Evans at left-back, with Diogo Dalot moving to the right. Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez could be recalled to partner him at centre-back. Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes are likely to start in midfield, while Rasmus Hojlund will compete with Joshua Zirkzee for the striker slot.
Brentford are also without Yoane Wissa (ankle), Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, Igor Thiago (all knee), Aaron Hickey (thigh) and Gustavo Nunes (back). Mikkel Damsgaard (knockout), Christian Norgaard (muscle) and Mathias Jensen (calf) are also doubtful for this weekend's game.
Thomas Frank could consider a back three with Sepp van den Berg, Ethan Pinnock and Nathan Collins at the heart of defence. Kristoffer Ajer and Keane Lewis-Potter would take on the full-back roles. Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford's top scorer with six goals in seven Premier League games, would continue to lead the line alongside either Kevin Schade or Fabio Carvalho.

Latest football commentary MU vs Brentford
Erik ten Hag has once again avoided the sack and remains in charge of Manchester United, despite the club's worst start to a Premier League campaign with just eight points and two wins from seven games. Ten Hag's future remains unclear after a seven-hour executive meeting in London with the likes of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer.
All eyes are on Ten Hag, with United 14th in the table, closer to the relegation zone than the top four, and already 10 points behind leaders Liverpool. Since a 7-0 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup in mid-September, United have not won any of their last five games, drawing four, including a goalless draw at Aston Villa before the international break.
Old Trafford has not brought much joy to fans this season, but they have reason to be optimistic ahead of Saturday's game, as United have won their last five home games against Brentford in the Premier League by an aggregate score of 13-2, the last time they lost to the Bees here was in 1937.
Brentford have made a habit of making fast starts in the Premier League, scoring the opening goal within 80 seconds in each of their last four games. While they have failed to beat Manchester City, Tottenham or West Ham when leading, they did beat Wolverhampton 5-3 just before the international break.
Brentford are currently 11th in the Premier League with 10 points this season, two points above Man United and three points off the top four. They have lost each of their first three away league games this season, but are looking to avoid their first run of four away defeats since 1961-62.
Brentford’s record against Man United is not very good, with only one win in the last 10 meetings, losing seven and conceding 24 goals. However, with their fearless style of play, they can still be confident when facing a struggling Man United.
With Brentford travelling to Old Trafford without pressure, Ten Hag was under pressure again. He could not afford another sub-par performance at home, where United had lost both of their last two games by a score of 0-3.
Both teams have had defensive weaknesses this season, so there is a good chance of a lot of goals. However, predicting which team will win is still difficult, so a high-scoring draw is possible.
