What will Ronaldo bring to his team as we confirmed team news, Brentford vs. Manchester United
Time
Brentford vs. Manchester United 17:30
Mikkel Damsgaard, the new Brentford acquisition, is available, but head coach Thomas Frank has stated that the Denmark international is not yet ready to play.
Ethan Pinnock is out with a knee injury, and Kristoffer Ajer and Sergi Canos are also out with hamstring injuries.
Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag might start Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been working on his health following a shortened preseason.
Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof are still absent.
I’d normally expect Manchester United to respond to what occurred against Brighton on Sunday.
But not this time, since United has problems everywhere. I’m not blaming Erik ten Hag for their current condition, but he ought to try to solve their difficulties.
I don’t think Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire can beat Ivan Toney at the back. Cristiano Ronaldo should return to lead the line up front, but how fit is he?
Brentford, like Brighton, are incredibly well-drilled, and until United click, they will struggle again.
Also, while United ultimately decided against signing Bologna striker Marko Arnautovic, they deserve to lose just for considering it.
Some may consider my prediction to be poor, but it is not quite as terrible as United being associated with Arnautovic in the first place.
Prediction
2-1 prediction
Since defeating Manchester United twice in the 1936-37 season, Brentford has only won one point from six top-flight games (D1, L5).
