Manchester Utd vs Brentford Prediction and Preview

Manchester United faces Brentford at the Old Trafford in a match from the 8th round of the Premier League. Let us offer you our best free soccer tips for this fixture. Let’s get to work!

Times are difficult for Manchester United and their manager Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils lost their last two matches against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray. Now the fans are beginning to doubt if Ten Hag is the right man to manage the team. But is he the problem? That’s the real question right now because United have many problems not related to the head coach.

In the Premier League Manchester United sit at 10th place with 9 points won - this puts them 9 points behind the current leader Manchester City. In seven games played so far in the league, United suffered four defeats - that’s not how they imagined the beginning of their season.

Another disappointment came against Galatasaray in the Champions League. The Danish striker Rasmus Højlund showed his talents and scored twice for United, but at the end Galatasaray achieved a prestigious 3-2 win at the Theatre of Dreams.

What could Erik ten Hag change in his line-up against Brentford? Scott McTominay could return in the starting eleven while Alejandro Garnacho is an option to refresh the attacking line. The same could be said about Antony who is back in the team after some accusations made towards him. And of course - Christian Eriksen could be used in midfield to bring some composure.

Sofyan Amrabat continues to play at left back since he joined Manchester United. Some fans now want to see Ten Hag using him properly - in midfield. The Moroccan international is a great midfielder but so far he’s not having the chance to play at his natural position. Now Ten Hag could try something else and put Amrabat where he belongs to. The former Fiorentina star could form a solid partnership with Casemiro in midfield.

Brentford are 14th in the Premier League standings with 7 points won from 7 games played. The Bees have won just one of their matches so far in the league. But they are a good team and we are sure they start doing better very soon.

In their last five matches Brentford are without a win - three draws and two losses. Last weekend Thomas Frank’s team faced Nottingham Forest away from home and got a point with a 1-1 draw at The City Ground. Christian Nørgaard opened the score for the visitors but Dominguez equalised for Forest.

Bryan Mbeumo is one of the players to watch in Brentford’s attack. The Cameroonian striker has scored four goals in the league since the beginning of the season. He’s in a really good shape at the moment.

That’s the best free soccer tips for the Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Brentford on Saturday. After two consecutive defeats in the last two games, United are obligated to do better here. The fans won’t accept a third consecutive loss - that’s for sure. Let’s see what Ten Hag’s boys will offer us.
