Manchester United will be looking to build on their victory over Chelsea in their next match as they face Brentford in the Premier League.
Manchester United kick off this weekend’s Premier League fixtures with a trip to Brentford in West London on Saturday afternoon.
Ruben Amorim’s team have picked up two wins, two defeats, and a draw from their opening matches, leaving them in 11th place and raising questions about their ability to build momentum.
Their victories came through a late Bruno Fernandes penalty against Burnley and last week’s triumph over Chelsea; a game that swung United’s way after Robert Sánchez’s red card left the visitors free to take control and score twice.
Following that result against Enzo Maresca’s side, the clash with Brentford offers Amorim the opportunity to record back-to-back league wins for the first time since his arrival, a step that could help establish much-needed consistency.
Ahead of this clash, UtdDistrict have provided all of the details you need to follow the game.

Brentford vs United: Latest injury news
United welcomed back Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha against Chelsea, with both players coming on as second-half substitutes after short-term injuries.
They could both be in contention to start against the Bees, while it remains to be seen whether Diogo Dalot or Lisandro Martínez are involved. It is unlikely that they will be in the squad.
Casemiro is unavailable for selection after his red card against Chelsea but will be back for the next game with Sunderland as he is only serving a one-match suspension.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews has an almost-fully fit squad, with 19-year-old Gustavo Gomes being the only first-team player set to miss the clash.
