Last Word On Football provides our predictions and best odds for the upcoming fixture: Brentford vs Manchester United on 13th August, 2022.

In their entire history, Brentford and Manchester United have only ever faced each other twice. Ultimately, the Bees will be happy without the ball, pressing, among others, Fred, Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot back once more and preventing Ten Hag’s players from advancing the ball into dangerous positions. They will be looking to bounce back from this when they travel to Brentford on 13th August 2022, and with rumours abound surrounding the Red Devils’ squad, the match at the Brentford Community Stadium may provide some stability on the pitch, if not off it.

Brentford vs Manchester United should be a brilliant game in west London on Saturday as the pressure is, once again, cranking up on the Red Devils.

I’ll have analysis from what is hopefully a red-hot clash here between Brentford and Manchester United, as the latter really need a piece of this glorious sunshine to brighten up the negative vibes swirling around them. From Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to leave and now being stuck at the club to Erik ten Hag tasting defeat in his first game in charge and the botched attempts to sign Marko Arnautovic ( fan unrest reportedly brought that deal to its knees), it remains a bit of a mess. It seems like it will not be smooth sailing in Erik ten Hag’s early days in charge and this trip to Brentford has an upset alert flashing all over it. On the pitch Erik ten Hag didn’t see many positives as his side were dominated by Brighton and deserved to lose their opening game. Sergi Canos is also out with a hamstring issue. Also, the summer-long pursuit of Frenkie de Jong seems to have been fruitless so Adrien Rabiot is the man United now want to sign to dictate the tempo of their play from midfield. Erik ten Hag lost his first Premier League game in charge of United, as the 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton laid bare all of the issues the Dutch coach is trying to solve. The Bees continue to fly under the radar and are determined to make sure there is no Sophomore slump for them this season as they’ve made yet more savvy pickups this summer. Brentford have once again recruited smartly, signing Aaron Hickey, Keane Lewis-Potter and Mikkel Damsgaard to strengthen their squad. KICK OFF: We are underway here in Brentford. United have started okay with Marcus Rashford surging forward and finding Cristiano Ronaldo who goes down looking for a free kick. That is a lot to try and sort out whilst at the same time trying to usher in a new possession-based style and sign new players to fit that system. GOALLL! Brentford 1-0 up and that is a proper howler from David de Gea. Josh Dasilva with a low shot which somehow squirms past the United goalkeeper as time seemed to stand still.

Anthony Martial is sidelined and the manager again insisted on Friday that Ronaldo is part of his plans. Brentford boss Thomas Frank has made two changes to the side that game from 2-0 down to claim a draw at Leciester on the opening weekend.

Nobody in the United ranks emerged from the 2-1 defeat to Brighton with credit, but the performances of Fred, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay were especially abject.

Minute-by-minute report: Christian Eriksen returns to west London with United. Join Scott Murray to see how the action unfolds.

75 min: A cross into the Brentford box from the left. Free kick, and another chance for the hosts to sling one into the United mixer. United clear easily. United go up the other end, Malacia’s low cross from the left sitting up for Eriksen, who pulls his shot wide right from ten yards. 85 min: Ronaldo fails to clear the corner with a header, then allows Janelt to turn him this way and that. 89 min: Rashford is booked for bringing down Baptiste as Brentford look to counter. There’s just enough time for McTominay to nearly get himself sent off, needlessly clattering into Baptiste and risking a second yellow. We know they’ve got great talent, but when you work hard and run all over them, then the result shows what we are capable of.” He’s then asked if he has any idea how United turn this around. They are good players, and have to take responsibility on the pitch, as a team and as individuals, and that’s what we didn’t do. You have to take belief onto the pitch for yourself and the team. Of course we expected a different start, but what happened in the past, last season, has been brought into this season, and we have to change that really quickly.

After starting the Erik ten Hag era off on the wrong foot by losing to Brighton at home, can Manchester United rebound with a victory over Brentford?

Brentford: The Bees will likely roll out a back four again as Kristoffer Ajer and Ethan Pinnock will miss the match with injuries but Ben Mee was solid on his debut versus Leicester City. With new signing Mikkel Damsgaard, the formation could be in play longer even when they are back to full strength. Former Brentford man Christian Eriksen looked lost playing as a center forward in Week 1 but Manchester United doesn't have an appropriate defensive midfielder to drop him into a midfield three from the start of the game which is one of the reasons they're pursuing Adrien Rabiot of Juventus. With a settled team at his disposal, Brentford can cause Manchester United similar issues they faced versus Brighton in dealing with Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo.

The last time they met was in May 2022 when United won 3-0 with goals from Varane, Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo. In the last seven meetings the Red Devils have been unbeaten with five wins and two draws, the last victory for Brenford came in 1938 in the round of 16 of the FA Cup. Although Brentford's first season in the Premier League was satisfactory, the objective for this second season is not only to guarantee the permanence, but also to look for a better position in the championship. In the first Premier League match they rescued a point against Leicester City despite the fact that the Fosex took a 2-0 lead, with Toney and Dasilva scoring the goals for Brentford. Malacia will be the first signing of the team followed by Eriksen and Lissandro Martino. In this preseason they beat Liverpool, Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace, while they drew against Aston Villa and Rayo Vallecano and were defeated by Atlético Madrid. In the Premier League kick-off they were defeated at Old Trafford by 1-2 against Brighton 14 meetings between Brenford and Manchester United with a slight advantage for the latter who have won on six occasions, while Brentford have won on five occasions.

Former Ajax boss Ten Hag becomes the first United manager in over 100 years to lose his first two matches. Ten Hag's side managed to stop the flow of conceded goals in the second half, but failed to convert their chances which would have restored some pride. "It was a horrible day," De Gea said.

- Shaw 3 – The way substitute Malacia later managed to contain Mbeumo was a damning indictment of Shaw’s lack of pace. Bryan Mbeumo crossed it in to Ivan Toney at the back post who – ever so predictably – out-jumped Lisandro Martinez and headed across goal to find Ben Mee. David de Gea was subjected to the cruellest of replays after an unmitigated howler for Josh Dasilva’s opener, the 23-year-old testing the United goalkeeper from outside the box and seeing his strike slip meekly through his hands.

Manchester United's insipid 1st half will not help any of its players, while the Bees will love their player ratings from a rollicking day at Brentford.

Mathias Jensen (On 73′): 9 — The total package. Once the midfield game was lost and Fred withdrawn, there was even less help. Diogo Dalot: 4 — Gave away the ball quite a bit. Clearly a Ten Hag favorite. Ten Hag set up his team to possess and play with style. Frank Onyeka (On 80′): N/A Shandon Baptiste (On 73′): N/A Yoane Wissa (On 73′): N/A 3. It’s a problem of mentality more than talent: Take almost any player out of this Manchester United and present a Premier League manager the chance to find a starting use for them in their system. Any could be labeled as Man of the Match behind the buzzing five midfielders and forwards, and David Raya had command of his box. 1. Appropriate jerseys for “under construction” Man United: Brentford was very good — We’ll get to that in a moment — but it’s fitting that United was wearing a sort of construction worker/cautionary bright yellow-green because there’s simply no question the Red Devils are nowhere near where they’ll be once Erik ten Hag’s system has taken root with the proper pieces. Mathias Jensen will get plaudits for his advantageous work and Ivan Toney had two assists, but Ben Mee and the “back five” were marvelous.

Josh Dasilva (10') · Mathias Jensen (18') · Ben Mee (30') · Bryan Mbeumo (35').
