Manchester United are back in action after defeating Chelsea last weekend – they now turn their attention towards Brentford at the Community Stadium.
Team News
Ruben Amorim gave the media an update on the match day squad going into Saturday's match
Horrible news for us all as we have learn a family member of Amad Diallo has passed away and the Ivorian won't be available for the game against Brentford.
Lisandro Martinez and Mazraoui are set to be out with injury, with Amorim stating Mazraoui will not see the pitch until after the international break. Lastly, Casemiro will not be available after his red card against Chelsea last week.
ℹ️ Ruben has confirmed Amad will miss Saturday's trip to Brentford due to a bereavement in the family.

We're all thinking of you, @AmadDiallo_19 🙏
"Licha [Martinez] is out. Casemiro is out because of the red card. Amad is not here because someone in his family passed away. We are giving all the support to Amad and understood he needed to return home."
"He [Mazraoui] is out also. He will not be back until the international break."
Manchester United predicted XI
I anticipate Ruben Amorim to come out with a more attacking side than seen against Chelsea, Diogo Dalot looks like an obvious choice at right wing back with both of his competitors for the position out of the match day squad - Matheus Cunha also looks set to make his return to the starting lineup after his injury against Burnley 4 weeks ago.
Changes in the midfield will be forced against Manchester United with Casemiro suspended for the match after last week's incident leading to Manuel Ugarte to be most likely to get the nod in the starting 11.
In defence, Leny Yoro is expected to return to his role as one of the three centre backs after the 19 year old was replaced for more experienced player Harry Maguire last week.
Brentford starting XI v Fulham
Brentford take on Manchester United off the back of a 3-1 defeat to Fulham where they continue their poor run of form under their new manager, Keith Andrews.
The Bees' have had a poor start to the season which sees them sitting just narrowly above the relegation zone with only one win in 5. Brentford will be hoping to capitalise on an inconsistent United side.
Final Score predictions
Brentford have been a sort of boogeyman team for the Red Devils' the last few years, but under new manager Keith Andrews, the boogeyman looks to be getting exposed. I predict a 2-0 United win as they continue the momentum that was built against Chelsea.
