Brentford vs. Manchester United: Time, TV channel, stream, betting odds for Erik ten Hag’s first Premier League away match

After Manchester United were deemed difficult by beating Brighton 2-1 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.

Eriksen has been an inspiration since signing for Brentford in January, joining United after his short-term contract at Gtech Community Stadium expired and enjoying a memorable day on his competitive debut for his new club, for which the midfielder initially started in the center of a struggling attack from three.

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? The sports news has the details of how to watch the game.

Brentford’s predicted lineup (4-3-3): Raya (GK) – Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry – DaSilva, Norgaard, Janelt – Mbuemo, Toney, Lewis-Potter

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.

Brentford vs Manchester United betting odds

Despite their struggles, United are bookmakers’ favorites to secure their first win under Ten Hag, making Brentford a value bet.

Brentford’s only defeat in their last five home games in 2021/22 was a last-minute goal from Leeds in a game that meant far more to the visitors than Frank’s side. They had kept four consecutive clean sheets at home prior to this game and won three times during the run.

In the first meetings between the sides since 1975, United won 3-1 at Brentford in January and 3-0 in the second leg at Old Trafford in May.
