Predicted Brentford vs Manchester United starting XI; team news, h2h, injury update, Prediction, Kickoff time.

Manchester Unite will travel to Brentford Community Stadium in London to face Premier League new comers for the first time in over four decades on Wednesday night.

Thomas Frank’s side will welcome the Red Devils in their Premier League debut and be able to enter the top half of the table with a victory against Ralf Rangnick’s side.

Brentford have held the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, and West Ham United this season, while United have been prone to slip-ups themselves.

Manchester United played a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday night leaving them five points off fourth place, albeit with two games in hand. They are currently on a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming four wins in that run.

United are still without Paul Pogba (hip) and Eric Bailly (AFCON), while Rangnick will have to find a solution to the Anthony Martial situation. The Frenchman has been out with a knee injury but refused to travel to the Villa match, according to his coach, but he has refuted.
