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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

OVER!! Baptiste weaves his way into the area, beating defenders at will before cutting the ball back for Toney. The striker spots De Gea off his line and tries a chipped shot from the edge of the box, but the ball is always rising as it sails over the bar!

Rashford picks Brentford pockets to race clear with the ball and spark a break down the right. He's in acres of space and looks to cross early for Martial, but Henry steps across to block the ball behind for a corner.
