United defeated Brentford at home earlier this season, scoring twice in stoppage time, and they know they will face a difficult test again on Saturday, despite of their opponent's dismal Premier League position.

United's hero from the Liverpool match, Amad, will miss the clash after he was sent off celebrating his winner against Jurgen Klopp's side, while former United loanee Sergio Reguilon is also suspended for the opposition.

Lisandro Martinez is closing in on a return to fitness after he trained with the Argentina squad over the international break but this match will most likely come too soon for him to be considered from the start.
