Man Utd v Brentford: TV channel, live stream, where to watch plus team & injury news for United

Manchester United end the latest round of Premier League fixtures when they host Brentford on Monday in a 8pm kick-off.

The clash with the Bees is, peculiarly, the Red Devils’ final home game of what has been a turbulent season for the supporters, who have witnessed repeated abject performances.

The game will also be a chance to say farewell to a few departing faces, with Nemanja Matic confirming he’s on his way out of the club, while Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba all expected to leave at the end of the season when their contracts expires.

Although, the latter is unlikely to receive a warm reception from the crowd, especially given he’s injured and will miss the game.

United do have two more remaining fixtures this season, against Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace, but they are both away from home.

Last time out, Ralf Rangnick’s side drew 1-1 with Chelsea in a game played against a backdrop of fan protests against the Glazers. Cristiano Ronaldo’s second-half strike earned the Red Devils a point in another disappointing display.

United have won just two of their last 11 in all competitions, and look like a side who simply cannot wait for the campaign to end.

They did, however, manage to win the last time the two clubs met in the league, when United won 3-1 at the Brentford Community Stadium in January.

But the Bees are a different proposition now with Christian Eriksen pulling the strings from midfield and have won five of their last seven, losing just once.

It will also be the first time United have hosted Brentford in the Premier League, while the last top-flight meeting at the ground between the two clubs came in 1946.

What’s the latest team news?

Rangnick confirmed in Friday’s press conference that Jadon Sancho could be out for the season due to an extreme case of tonsillitis, while Luke Shaw and Pogba remain out through injury.

But the German, who it was this week confirmed will take up the Austria manager’s job this summer, said he is hopeful of having five first-team players back in time for the game.

“I hope Fred will make it for the Brentford game, tonight [Thursday] was too early for him,” said Rangnick.

“Edinson Cavani is supposed to come back to training tomorrow, but then again, the question is, he has been missing for the last four or five weeks, is he really a player who could play against Brentford. Probably not, but at least from the bench [he could be involved].

“Apart from that, we have to wait and see [with] Harry Maguire. Jesse Lingard was missing for personal reasons today. I hope some of those players will be back on Monday.”

As for the visitors, Thomas Frank confirmed Christian Norgaard and Kristoffer Ajer should be back for Monday’s fixture, but Ethan Pinnock, Sergi Canos, Frank Onyeka and Saman Ghoddos won’t have returned.

Is the match on TV?

The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, with the pre-match build-up beginning at 7pm. Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the game via Sky Go.

The main moments can be watched on Sky Sports’ YouTube channel, and on the two club websites around two hours after the match concludes.
