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:

WHAT A SAVE!! Schade latches onto a delightful flick from Toney, and bursts past Varane to bear down on goal untouched. De Gea closes the gap well and parries the low effort from the Brentford substitute, but the two collide off the ball and the Red Devils' goalkeeper is down in a heap!

BLOCKED!!! A long throw from Pinnock is hurled into the United box, but headed away. The ball drops to Baptiste on the edge of the area, who cracks a shot goalwards which is blocked behind for a corner off McTominay!
