New Delhi: The Red Devils have had a notoriously bad start to the season, with their current point total being the lowest since the division’s reorganization in 1992. Before facing the cunning Bees, manager Erik ten Hag’s resources are limited due to yet another injury crisis.Ten Hag’s anger is already mounting after he snarled at the reporters last week, accusing them of making up stories and lies, in response to rumors that he would lose his position.
This Brentford game is therefore as “must-win” as they come for a variety of reasons, and three points would be the ideal way to address the persistent uncertainty. Although the Red Devils had won two of their past three encounters with Brentford and drawn one, he will still be troubled by the team’s 4-0 setback to the London team in just his second Premier League game as manager in 2022.
In order to preserve or grow their present two-point lead over United, Thomas Frank, who has his own fitness issues to address, will desire a solid away performance. Currently sitting 11th in the table, their coach will be demanding the same tanacity that they showed against Wolves, beating them 5-3.
