Ruben selects team to face Brentford

Manchester United’s line-up for the Saturday lunchtime visit to Brentford has been confirmed.

Ruben Amorim has made three changes to the side that beat Chelsea 2-1 seven days ago, with all of them enforced.

Casemiro is suspended for the match at the Gtech Community Stadium, while Noussair Mazraoui has picked up an injury that will rule him out until October’s international break.

Amad, meanwhile, has been given a leave of absence due to a family bereavement.

All three started against the Blues but drop out today, with Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte and Matheus Cunha coming in.

Ugarte and Cunha were involved as substitutes when Enzo Maresca’s side came to town, but Dalot has missed the two games in September so far through injury.

There’s a youthful look to the Reds’ bench, particularly from a defensive point of view, as Tyler Fredricson, Ayden Heaven and Diego Leon are all named as substitutes.

Altay Bayindir continues in goal, with Tom Heaton and Senne Lammens in reserve.

United: Bayindir; De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes (c), Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.

Subs: Heaton, Lammens, Fredricson, Heaven, Leon, Yoro, Mainoo, Mount, Zirkzee.

Brentford: Kelleher; Kayode, van den Burg, Collins (c), Hickey; Yarmoliuk, Henderson; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Igor Thiago.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Ajer, Henry, Pinnock, Janelt, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Onyeka, Milambo.
