Manchester United make controversial Kobbie Mainoo decision as line up vs Brentford confirmed
The confirmed Man Utd team news and starting XI to face Brentford FC in the Premier League.
Kobbie Mainoo has been named on the bench for Manchester United’s clash with Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime. Ruben Amorim is looking to win back-to-back league matches for the first time as United head coach and has made three changes from the side that defeated Chelsea a week ago.
Diogo Dalot has been handed a start at right wing-back after his recent injury setback, while Manuel Ugarte has been selected to come into central midfield. The other change sees Matheus Cunha return to the forward line after he was a substitute for the Chelsea win.
United are without the suspended Casemiro after he was sent off in the first-half of the 2-1 win over Chelsea, while Noussair Mazraoui is absent due to a slight injury issue. Lisandro Martinez is still sidelined after he underwent ACL surgery earlier in the year and Amad Diallo has been granted compassionate leave after a family bereavement.
