Team news: Manchester United host Brentford in midweek Premier League clash

Manchester United are seeking their first Premier League win since February 19 on Wednesday evening when Brentford travel to Old Trafford for an 8pm kick-off.

Three dismal displays have left the Reds winless and goalless in their last three matches, so bouncing back means nothing less than a win tomorrow.

The team will also be adamant about making amends for the reverse fixture back in August when they conceded four goals in under 40 minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford have lost just one game in their last 15 and have their sights firmly set on the lucrative prospect of European football, so they will come to M16 ready for battle.

Donny van de Beek and Alejandro Garnacho remain long-term absentees.

The match comes too soon for Christian Eriksen to face his former side and Casemiro will serve the third of his four-game ban.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka will need to be assessed tonight and tomorrow morning, as he was ruled out of last weekend’s clash with Newcastle due to illness.

Kristoffer Ajer and Keane Lewis-Potter are sidelined but Vitaly Janelt may be available despite his recent knee injury. Shandon Baptiste returns from suspension.

United’s defenders will be tasked with keeping prolific forward Ivan Toney quiet after he netted his 17th goal of the campaign against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
