It has been a terrible start to the Premier League season for Man United, and they will be looking to bounce back at Old Trafford on Saturday when they welcome Brentford. A victory would ease the mounting pressure on Erik ten Hag at this stage of the campaign.
Before Betting On Man United vs Brentford
Man United will have questions to answer this weekend, as the Red Devils currently sit down in tenth place after seven rounds of matches this term. They have won just three of their matches this season, and they have already suffered four defeats in the division. United have made their worst start to a season in the Premier League era, and they will be looking to avoid three straight defeats at Old Trafford for the first time since February 1979 on Saturday.
The Red Devils haven’t fared well against clubs from London already this term, as they have lost on all three occasions this term. However, they haven’t lost more frequently against sides from the capital since losing four throughout the 2006-07 season.
Brentford haven’t recorded an away win against Man United since February 1937, and they have suffered five straight defeats at the Theatre of Dreams since that rare win. The Bees have also struggled in recent clashes against the Red Devils, as they have lost three of the previous four, with their only win coming in the form of a 4-0 success on matchday two last term.
Brentford comes into this match after going five without a win in the Premier League. However, they avoided suffering a third straight defeat in the competition last weekend, as they played out an entertaining draw against Nottingham Forest last Sunday.
Man United vs Brentford Offshore Odds & Pick
Man United’s form has been patchy over the opening months, and we aren’t tempted to side with them at a short price this weekend. Therefore, a chance is taken on Brentford to claim maximum points at Old Trafford.
