After a shock start to the season, 10th place Manchester United look to find their feet at the theatre of dreams against an out of form Brentford who sit 14th. A favourable fixture for the Red Devils winning 3 from the last 4. A game that entails goals with 12 goals. Goals are a hard thing to come by this season for United as they sit 12th in goals and 17th with a shot conversion rate of 6.4%. Rasmus Hoijland is here to change that, currently the top scorer in the Champions League, Ten Hag has expressed his joy “with his progress, we are very happy, very pleased”.

The man united man believes in his squad after a tough spell, “we have a very good chance to win this game” Although united have been hit with an injury crisis there is some good news as Erik Ten Hag reveals “I think he is ready” about the Brazilian winger Antony.

History doesn’t fair well with Thomas Franks men at old Trafford, the bees have never scored a goal in the away fixture, that’s something they’ll be looking to change.
