Manchester United welcome Brentford to Old Trafford in a fixture that sees Erik ten Hag winless in their last three Premier League ties, in which the club have failed to score a single goal.
Erik ten Hag was questioned on his side’s recent form, saying he has no concerns about the direction of his players.

“We played 60 minutes against Southampton with ten men, we beat Fulham. We beat Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, so no concerns,” he explained.
“We had a very bad performance because the opponent wanted it more, ” he admitted. “They were sharper. You can see that in the challenges, we won only 16 from 61 challenges in offence and in defence the opponent beats us 48 from 78 challenges. Then you can’t win a game.”
