Manchester United must aim to head into the international break with a positive result once morest Brentford, following a run of home defeats.
The Reds face Thomas Frank’s Bees at Old Trafford in another 3:00 p.m. BST kick-off, keen to improve their Premier League position before another break in domestic affairs.
Both teams are facing injury problems, but Antony has returned to training and made a brief appearance as a substitute in the Champions League loss to Galatasaray on Tuesday night, making him an option to balance the right flank.
Ten Hag: Defeat must serve as fuel
Youngster Kobbie Mainoo is also set to make his return following picking up an injury during pre-season, while Casemiro’s one-match suspension is obviously Champions League-related, and so he will miss the game at home once morest FC Copenhagen later in the month.
We’re awaiting news from Sergio Reguilon, who hasn’t reappeared since coming off in the win over Burnley. A return for the Spaniard might free Sofyan Amrabat from his backup role on the left side of defense, but fellow full-backs Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka appear certain to be unavailable.
Lisandro Martinez has had surgery on a foot problem and is likely to be out for a long period, while Amad is also on the sidelines.
Jadon Sancho has been absent since the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.
THE BRENTFORD TEAM
Striker Ivan Toney is suspended until January despite scoring in his first match of the season in a closed-door B team friendly in midweek .
The south-west London club will also be without Rico Henry and Kevin Schade until 2024.
The Bees are also without Joshua Dasilva, experienced centre-back Ben Mee, Mikkel Damsgaard and Shandon Baptiste.
Neal Maupay might be part of the squad following taking part, like Toney, in the training match once morest Italian club Como. Kristoffer Ajer replaced Mads Roerslev, the only change to the team from the team’s last Premier League outing, the 2-2 draw once morest Nottingham Forest last Sunday.
