Rúben Amorim has made several changes as Manchester United line up to face Brentford in a Saturday afternoon Premier League kick-off.
Manchester United will get the Premier League weekend underway with a Saturday afternoon trip to Brentford in West London.
Rúben Amorim’s side have collected two wins, two defeats and a draw so far, leaving them 11th in the table and still searching for a consistent run.
Their wins came from Bruno Fernandes’ late penalty at Burnley and a 2-1 victory over Chelsea last week, a match swung their way after Robert Sánchez was shown a red card.
That result against Enzo Maresca’s team offers Amorim the chance to secure back-to-back league wins for the first time since taking charge — a potential platform for greater stability.
The XIs have been confirmed below, with Amorim starting Matheus Cunha as part of the front three after his return from injury last week.
