The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in an important clash at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Manchester United vs Brentford Preview
Brentford are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest last week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have been in poor form this season. The Red Devils slumped to a damaging 3-2 defeat at the hands of Galatasaray in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Manchester United vs Brentford Prediction
Manchester United have a good squad at their disposal but have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. Rasmus Hojlund was impressive against Galatasaray and will look to impress with his performance once again this weekend.
