Match officials: Manchester United vs Brentford (Premier League)

Manchester United will look to bounce back from their Newcastle defeat last weekend, as they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford on Wednesday.

After such a gut-wrenching loss against Newcastle at St James’ Park, Brentford’s visit to Manchester United surely becomes a must-win game for Erik ten Hag’s men. They currently sit fifth on the Premier League table, with two games in hand over Tottenham Hotspur in fourth.

A win is also necessary for pride, as Brentford handed United a humiliating 4-0 loss earlier in the season. That horrific result will surely live on the minds of United players heading into the game on Wednesday night.
