Manchester United will be looking to keep their hopes of Champions League qualification alive when they travel to face Brentford in the Premier League next weekend.
Erik ten Hag's side head into the match on the back of a brilliant comeback victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup, meaning they have now won eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
United's victory over fierce rivals Liverpool was made all the sweeter by the fact Aston Villa and Tottenham both dropped points, handing them further hope in their search of a top four or five finish this season.
There is further good news on the injury front too. Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount both returned in the FA Cup quarter-final win as the squad gets stronger at a crucial stage of the season.
Influential defender Lisandro Martinez is also close to a return to action, though it might be a while yet before we see him starting matches again.
Here is a look at the early team news ahead of next week's trip to Brentford and how the United squad is faring up for the pivotal Premier League run-in...
