How to watch and follow United v Brentford
Youngster Kobbie Mainoo is also closing on a comeback after suffering an injury in pre-season, while Casemiro’s one-match suspension obviously relates to the Champions League, so he misses the home clash with FC Copenhagen later this month.
We await an update on Sergio Reguilon, who has not reappeared since being withdrawn in the win at Burnley. A return for the Spaniard could release Sofyan Amrabat from his stand-in role on the left-hand side of defence, but fellow full-backs Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka appear certain to be unavailable.
Lisandro Martinez has had an operation on his foot problem and faces a lengthy spell out, while Amad is also sidelined.
Jadon Sancho has been absent since the 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest.
BRENTFORD’S TEAM NEWS
Top striker Ivan Toney is suspended until January, although he did score in his first taste of action this term, in a behind-closed-doors friendly for the club’s B team, in midweek.
The south-west Londoners also look set to be without Rico Henry and Kevin Schade until some point in 2024.
The Bees’ problems also extend to Joshua Dasilva, experienced centre-back Ben Mee, Mikkel Damsgaard and Shandon Baptiste.
Neal Maupay could feature after he, like Toney, played in the practice game against Italian side Como, while Kristoffer Ajer replacing Mads Roerslev was the only change to the team for the last Premier League outing, the 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp admission should act as a warning for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United
Man United have endured their worst start to a campaign for 37 years and a hangover from last season’s hectic schedule could go some way to explaining why.
Erik ten Hag has seen his side endure a dismal start to the season and the Manchester United manager needs to find answers.
Tuesday’s 3-2 Champions League defeat at home to Galatasaray was United’s sixth defeat in just 10 games across all competitions, signalling their worst start to a season in 37 years. After Rasmus Hojlund twice gave his side a lead, the Turkish champions responded to win with the help of some calamitous home defending.
The problems facing Ten Hag are multiple. Injuries in key areas are piling up, last season’s top performers are not performing and the major summer arrivals – barring Hojlund – are yet to find their feet. From just the second week of the season and a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham, questions started to be asked regarding fitness levels. Roy Keane was particularly vocal, suggesting the players already looked tired – which may come as no surprise, given their 62 games last season was more than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues.

It was a similar problem faced by Liverpool last season after they endured a mammoth 2021/2022 campaign. Jurgen Klopp’s side racked up 63 games as they reached the finals of the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League which, coupled with a short turnaround, undoubtedly affected energy levels.
“Could anybody know how the last season of 63 games could influence this season?” Klopp admitted in January. “I don’t think anybody could know.
It must have. We can say that now. We had holiday, not too much, there were games here and the boys all looked fine. Then it started with Diogo coming back from international duty and getting injured and then bam, bam, bam.
“Luis (Diaz) twice, Darwin (Nunez) suspended and now injured. Earlier in the season midfielders were not available so we brought in Arthur [Melo] who then got injured. There is a lot of bad luck.”
United’s start to this season presents a lot of similarities, with the exertion from a hectic schedule catching up and injuries becoming all too frequent. Already this season, Ten Hag has been without Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Sergio Reguilon, Sofyan Amrabat, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, Anthony Martial and Rasmus Hojlund due to injury or illness.
Those who have been fit enough to feature have seemingly lacked energy and ideas, fading in the latter stages of big games and finding themselves overrun. Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, two players who were ever-present last season, look physically and mentally fatigued.
Liverpool rallied to enjoy a strong end to last season but ultimately failed to reach their top-four goal. For United this time round, the challenge looks even harder with more teams improving and joining the fight for Champions League football.
