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:

A poor clearance from De Gea is recovered by Jensen, who tees up Norgaard to cross. His whipped-in ball is flicked on by Toney, but there's too much height on the header and the attempt flies well over the crossbar.

SAVED!!! Antony breezes past Mee and finds Rashford to his left, who charges into the box and leaves Pinnock on his backside, before firing a shot from a tight angle which Raya does brilliantly to hold!

A first consistent period of Brentford attacking is halted by the referee, due to McTominay hitting the deck with a potential head injury. He's soon back on his feet though, meaning we can continue.

WIDE!!! Sabitzer and Fernandes create space in midfield, and the latter find Rashford ahead of him. He takes a touch to open up shooting space, and blasts a shot across the face of goal which takes a nick and rolls wide!

Sancho drifts across from the left to link up with Antony, who attempts once again to find the far corner before curling a left-footed shot beyond it!

WIDE!! The initial corner is cleared by Brentford, but Rashford recovers the ball to cross from the left. He finds Antony, whose dipping volley from the edge of the box flashes wide of the post!
