United come into the match on shaky form, though, with just two wins in their last five matches.
They bounced back from defeat at the hands of Leeds with a comfortable 1-0 win over an abject Chelsea last time out, though, thanks to Matheus Cunha’s goal on the stroke of half-time.
Brentford, meanwhile, are in an odd spell. They have one win in eight, but have drawn six matches in that spell, if you count the FA Cup defeat by West Ham which was settled on penalties after ending level after 120 minutes.
Keith Andrews has shrugged at the significance of the winless run, which he says proves his side are hard to beat, but will require a win here if he is to take Brentford onto the continent next season. A win at Old Trafford would send the Bees sixth, ahead of Brighton, Bournemouth and Chelsea.
