Match Preview
Erik ten Hag continues to retain the faith of the Man United hierarchy, but that confidence could be tested if the Red Devils suffer yet another defeat on Saturday.
United come into the eighth round of matches sitting closer to the bottom three than the Champions League places. They have conceded six goals across their last three matches in all competitions, but it is their shortcomings in the final third that raises questions.
Only Crystal Palace have scored fewer goals than the Red Devils at this stage of the season, with United having failed to find the net in each of their last three in the Premier League.

Thomas Frank could be in the running to replace ten Hag at United, and his Brentford side have enjoyed an excellent start to the season. The Bees have won three of their opening seven, and have netted inside the opening minute in three of their last four.
Brentford’s quick starts continued before the international break after netting the opener in their 5-3 win over Wolves after two minutes.
The Bees opened the scoring in this exact fixture last term, before United overturned the deficit in the final minutes. United have won four of the last six matches between the sides, which includes each of the last three at Old Trafford.
Man United vs. Brentford Picks
I wouldn’t be in a rush to take United as an odds-on chance this weekend. Brentford’s fast starts mean that they look a good bet to open the scoring, and there could be value in the draw on Saturday.
