Man United resume their Premier League campaign following the international break when they travel to Brentford on Saturday. United should be full of confidence after landing a memorable 4-3 FA Cup success against Liverpool before the break in domestic action.
Before Betting On Brentford vs Man United
The next two months look set to define Erik ten Hag’s long term future at Man United, with the Dutch boss tasked with winning a major trophy and also ensuring that the Red Devils finish inside the Champions League positions. United have an uphill challenge to achieve that feat, as they come into this round sitting sixth in the standings, and they are currently six points behind Tottenham.
However, their recent performances would offer a glimmer of hope after winning each of their last two across all competitions. United defied all expectations before the international break to claim a 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup, while they were 2-0 winners in their last Premier League outing against Everton.
Brentford will stay have an eye on what’s happening below them in the Premier League standings, as they currently sit just five points clear of the relegation places. The Bees have endured a miserable campaign this term, and that has been echoed based on their recent form in the competition after losing four of their last five.
There are big questions for Brentford to answer in a defensive regard, as they have allowed 54 goals already this season. However, it could be their talent in the final third of the field that ultimately ensures that they won’t get dragged into the scrap at the very bottom of the table.
