Prediction: 2-1
Brentford
Following a goalless draw with Aston Villa before the international break, Manchester United will look to return to winning ways when they take on Brentford in the Premier League round 8. The Red Devils aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are major doubts, while Mason Mount has overcome his injury.
The Bees, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 5-3 win over Wolverhampton, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on Erik ten Hag’s troops this time out. In their last encounter at “Old Trafford” Manchester United defeated Brentford 2-1. Attacking duo Yoane Wissa - Igor Thiago is injured for the visiting side as well as midfielder Josh Dasilva. Mathias Jensen is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Rashford):
Marcus Rashford is one of the most talented English footballers. Rashford was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on October 31, 1997 and he began his youth career at Fletcher Moss Rangers. Manchester United scouts spotted him in 2005 when he joined the famous Premier League club.
The pacey footballer, who is capable of playing as both winger and striker, marked his Manchester United first-team debut with two goals in a 5-1 crushing of Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Marcus Rashford scored seven goals in 35 appearances for the Red Devils in the 2017/2018 Premier League season. Speaking of his international debut, the Manchester United attacker played his first match for England against Australia on May 27, 2016 and he did well to find the net in a 2-1 win over the Socceroos.
After producing fine displays with Manchester United in the 2017/2018 season, Marcus Rashford was named in the 23-man England national team squad that will take part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
