The vultures have begun circling Old Trafford as speculation over Erik ten Hag’s position reaches fever pitch and Manchester United prepare to host Brentford on Saturday.

WATCH MANCHESTER UNITED vs BRENTFORD LIVE

That’s what Ten Hag and Manchester United (14th place – 8 points) could use right now: a relaxed game against a team that gives them plenty of time and space to act at home. This is what awaits them against Brentford: anything but a relaxed time against a team that can smell blood in the water. The Bees (10pts – 11th) will cause plenty of problems for any in-form team in the world, let alone one that has just two wins from its first seven Premier League games (W2-D2-L3). slipping into the club’s worst team start in 35 years and without a goal in three games.

On the one hand, Brentford are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and could be just the cure for Ten Hag’s side’s problems. On the other hand, Brentford scored a goal in each of the last two minutes four games, as they became the first PL team to ever score in the first minute of three consecutive games, only to score after 76 seconds in the final game. Yoane Wissa (3 goals, 1 assist in 4 games) missed Brentford’s last three league games with an ankle injury but could return this weekend to strengthen Brentford’s rabid attack.
