Brentford vs. Manchester United live score, updates, highlights & lineups from the Gtech Community Stadium
After Manchester United were deemed difficult with a 2-1 defeat by Brighton on the opening day, Manchester United face another game that could be described in the same terms when they visit Brentford in their second Premier League game of the season.
Second-half goals from Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva gave the Bees a respectable comeback in their opener at Leicester, kicking off their second season in the top flight with a 2-2 draw that suggested they could do well without Christian Eriksen can be successful.
Signing for Brentford in January, Eriksen was inspirational as he joined United after his short-term contract at the Gtech Community Stadium expired and had a memorable day in his competitive debut for his new club, toiling away as a makeshift centre-forward.
Can United deliver the vastly improved performance fans are eagerly awaiting or will Brentford emulate Brighton’s win against all odds and prolong a miserable start for new Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag?

Brentford vs Manchester United predicted lineups
Thomas Frank reported no injuries after his side clinched their first point of the season thanks to a mentality the Brentford manager described as “crazy”.
Frank will probably consider starting DaSilva after his impact as a substitute against Leicester. record signature Keane Lewis Potterwho joined for £16million from Hull in the summer and was unveiled four minutes before Brentford’s first goal of the season could also be in the running.
Brentford’s predicted lineup (4-3-3): Raya (GK) – Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry – DaSilva, Norgaard, Janelt – Mbuemo, Toney, Lewis-Potter
Brentford Substitute (9): Strakosha (GK), Sorensen, Roerslev, Stevens, Jensen, Onyeka, Baptiste, Wissa, Dervisoglu
Ten Hag will certainly be tempted to shuffle his pack after United’s recent poor performance against Brighton, although he could still be without one Anthony Martialwho missed the game with a hamstring injury.
Cristiano Ronaldo finds himself in a highly publicized standoff with United as he seeks a move to a Champions League side. The 37 minutes the Portugal captain played as a substitute against the Seagulls was almost as many as all of pre-season, but Ten Hag was understandably ready to turn to the 2021/22 top scorer as his side made a path back to the game was looking for.
United are negotiating a signing with Juventus Adrian Rabiotwho could be seeded for his debut if he joins a side with painfully obvious weaknesses in midfield.
Expected lineup of Man United (4-3-3): De Gea (GK) – Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw – Eriksen, Fred, Fernandes – Sancho, Ronaldo, Rashford
Man United substitutions (9): Heaton (GK), Malacia, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Garner, McTominay, Van de Beek, Garnacho, Elanga
