Brentford vs Manchester United: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results today

Manchester United travel to Brentford this evening, hoping to bounce back quickly from a dire opening weekend and secure the first competitive win of Erik ten Hag’s reign.

A sobering 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton last Sunday reminded the Dutchman of the sheer scale of the job he has on his hands at Old Trafford, while Thomas Frank’s Bees claimed a spirited 2-2 draw at Leicester at the same time from two goals down.

United can at least take hope from their comfortable double over Brentford last season as they travel to the capital, where Christian Eriksen faces a swift reunion with his former club.
