Brentford are hoping to further worsen the state of affairs at Manchester United when they face off on Saturday evening.
The Bees began the 2022/23 season of the English Premier League with a point after a 2-2 draw at Leicester.
Man United on the other hand were stunned 2-1 at home by Brighton as Erik Ten Hag’s reign began in dismay.
United ended their 2021-22 season with six defeats away from home – their worst run of form on the road since March 1981.
All eyes are on Ten Hag to get off the mark in this game and after being rested last time out, Cristiano Ronaldo is a key piece to this puzzle.
The loss left United in 13th place and need to pull up their socks to avoid a second straight defeat of the embryonic campaign.
