Our predicted Manchester United line-up for Saturday evening’s Premier League clash against Brentford.
The Red Devils finally return to action after the last international break of the campaign, meaning the players’ attention can now be uninterruptedly on their club affairs from now until the summer.
In truth, it could see some members of the squad actively looking to improve their form ahead of the Euros; Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount aren’t guaranteed places on the plane to Germany after tumultuous terms for both.
This weekend’s trip to the Gtech Community Stadium provides a chance for the Reds to build on the emphatic FA Cup triumph over Liverpool, which proved that they can indeed go head-to-head with in-form sides when it matters, as well as come back from trailing positions to ultimately reign victorious.
Erik ten Hag told reporters today there is a chance that stalwart centre-half Lisandro Martinez could make his comeback to the squad along with ‘some players’ also returning from injury.
He expects long-term absentee Luke Shaw to feature again before the season ends, although the forthcoming fixtures will certainly come too soon for him.
Predicted starting XI
Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Dalot, Mainoo, McTominay, Garnacho, Fernandes (C), Rashford, Hojlund.
Man utd is a great team
