Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host Brentford in the Premier League this afternoon.
The Red Devils have had a dreadful start to the campaign with six defeats in their opening 10 games in all competitions.
Four of those losses have come in the top-flight including a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford last weekend.
Erik ten Hag will want a strong response from his players when they welcome the Bees to the Theatre of Dreams today.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana came under fire in midweek after a poor showing against Galatasaray, but Ten Hag has fully backed him to respond. The Cameroonian is expected to start between the sticks against Thomas Frank’s side.
No changes are likely in defence. Diogo Dalot and Sofyan Amrabat are expected to start in the full-back positions. Sergio Reguilon was back in team training yesterday, but the 26-year-old has been ruled out of the Bees game.
Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof are likely to continue as the central defensive pairing. Lisandro Martinez is on the sidelines for the long-term with a foot surgery. Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans could feature off the bench.
In midfield, Ten Hag has his best combination available to him. Casemiro is an assured starter from the number six role and he looks set to be partnered by Mason Mount, who has looked lively since his return from a hamstring issue.
Further forward, we anticipate one change from Tuesday’s loss versus Galatasaray. Ten Hag has confirmed that Antony is ready to start and he should replace Hannibal Mejbri. The €60 million-rated star should start in his preferred right wing role.
This obviously means that Bruno Fernandes will return to his customary number 10 position. Marcus Rashford, who received plenty of support from Ten Hag in the pre-match presser, is expected to start on the left wing with Rasmus Hojlund up front.
