Man United vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Man United look to return to winning ways as they host European football-chasing Brentford
Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Brentford in the Premier League today.
Erik ten Hag’s team were well-beaten by Newcastle last time out and are now three without a win in the top flight, dropping to fifth place - albeit with two games in hand over Spurs above them.
A return to winning ways cannot be taken for granted though as Brentford thrashed United earlier in the season and look a solid outfit in recent matches too, unbeaten in four and sat ninth in the table. A win for the Bees will lift them into seventh above Liverpool and Aston Villa, while United will go back into third if they triumph.
