Brentford vs Manchester United Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 27 September

The Bees will host the Red Devils on matchday six in the Premier League as both teams will be aiming to get three points from this fixture. Neither team didn't have a great start to their new season and won't be happy with their performance so far in the matches. Here's Sportsdunia's Brentford vs Manchester United Preview. In five league matches so far, Brentford, under new manager Keith Andrews, have won only one match, drawn once, and lost three matches. Pressure is building on the coaching staff as well as on the players. They are going through a period of transition, and without a doubt, this season will be full of ups and downs for them. Facing United at home won't be an easy task, but they have enough quality to get a good result from this fixture, and surely they will look to fully use their home advantage in this fixture.

On the other hand, finally, Man United got their first big win of the season, as they beat the Club World Cup Champions Chelsea by 2-1 in the last match. In the five league matches so far, they have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice, with seven points on the table; they are currently sitting in the 11th spot. Amorim and his players are facing constant criticism from fans and the media due to their poor results so far. Surely, the win against Chelsea will be a huge confidence booster for them. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Brentford vs Manchester United

Igor Thiago (Brentford)

Thiago is an exciting striker who fits the role in Brentford's team. He is hard-working, a very good pressing player, he's also a physical presence, very good in the box, and can link the play. Thiago perfectly suits the tactical system that the Bees like to play. He is a very much like-for-like replacement for Ivan Toney. As a player is a all-round striker who does off-the-ball work really well, physically he is also strong and wins most of the duels against the defenders. In five league games so far, he has scored two goals.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

Things didn't start well for the Portuguese midfielder, but despite all the challenges and criticism, he did well against the World Champions, Chelsea, and helped his team get the win. Quality-wise, he is still one of the best in the world. Amorim fully trusts him to deliver performance on the pitch, as he is the one who leads the team by example. He is not only physically strong but also mentally very strong, as every time he goes through a lot of backlash from pundits and fans every time. In six games this season, till now, he has scored two goals.

Brentford vs Manchester United Prediction

Neither team won't be satisfied with how they started their new season so far. The Bees are going through a period of transition as new players have come and a new manager is in charge. On the other hand, United are still struggling with its tactical system. Despite all the issues on and off the pitch, both teams will be giving their all in this upcoming fixture, and most probably it will end in a stalemate.

Predicted Score: Brentford 1-1 Manchester United
