United Beyond Manchester

Manchester United travel to Brentford on Saturday looking to win back-to-back matches for the first time this season. The Reds took home all three points in a wild, hard-fought battle with Chelsea last time out.

Who will Ruben Amorim select to face a struggling Brentford side?

Team News

Altay Bayindir has started every match since Senne Lammens arrived from Royal Antwerp and will retain his spot against Brentford.

Matthijs De Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Luke Shaw put in a strong collective performance against Chelsea and could remain the back line at Brentford. Leny Yoro is another option should Ruben Amorim want to rotate.

Diogo Dalot returned to training this week after an injury picked up on international duty kept him out of the loss at City and the win against Chelsea. The Portuguese wing back should start, as Noussair Mazraoui has picked up an injury and Amad is out for family bereavement. Patrick Dorgu is likely to start on the left.

With Casemiro suspended, Manuel Ugarte is the favorite to start alongside Bruno Fernandes in the midfield. The Uruguayan played the second half against Chelsea after Casemiro picked up a second yellow in first-half stoppage time. Mason Mount played twenty minutes against his former side after an injury and will be available.

Bryan Mbeumo comes back to the Gtech Stadium, where he spent five seasons, seeking his first win over his former club since joining Manchester United. Matheus Cunha returned to action from the bench in the win over Chelsea and could slot back in alongside the Cameroonian. Benjamin Sesko will likely round out the attack at striker.

Goalkeeper: Altay Bayindir

Defenders: Matthijs De Ligt, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw
