The early team news and predicted line up as Man Utd travel to face Brentford in the Premier League

Manchester United will be looking to revive their hopes of a top-four finish when they travel to face Brentford in the Premier League next weekend.

Erik ten Hag's side head into the match on a massive high following their dramatic FA Cup quarter-final win over Liverpool, a result which was made even better by the fact that both Tottenham and Aston Villa dropped points.

United still have a faint chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season and know an improvement is required from their own point of view if they are to have any hopes of capitalising on the unexpected opportunity.

FA Cup hero Amad will miss the match through suspension, while Casemiro is a doubt for the match after he withdrew from the Brazil squad for the international break.

It means we might only see one change to the side that defeated Liverpool, with Harry Maguire a contender to replace Victor Lindelof in the heart of the defence. United hope to have Lisandro Martinez available for selection but it will likely come too soon for him to return from the start.
