Manchester United are set to take on Brentford in the Premier League as they look to build on their winning performance against Chelsea.

It was by no means a vintage display, but it was a very important three points against the Blues.

Now, a trip to the Gtech Community Stadium comes with its own set of challenges.

Although the Bees are not as potent a threat as they were under Thomas Frank, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

Amorim will not have the option of calling up Casemiro for the game, as the Brazilian was sent off against Chelsea. Lisandro Martínez is still nursing an injury, and Mazraoui has joined the list. Meanwhile, Amad has been given some time off for a family bereavement.

With all this in mind, here is how Amorim can line up against Brentford. In goal, he has placed his trust in Bayindir so far, although Lammens could be in line for his Man Utd debut.

Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw are likely to be the centre-backs on the night, with Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu flanking them as the wing-backs.

Bruno is nailed on for one of the midfield roles, with Manuel Ugarte coming in for the suspended Casemiro to round off the dual No. 8s.

This is where the questions arise in attack. Bryan Mbeumo is nailed on to start on the right wing, with Matheus Cunha likely to start on the left.

Through the middle, Šeško should keep his place despite failing to return so far. The only other option would be Mason Mount, who could play on the left and free Cunha to play through the middle.

Man Utd have a strong team and more than enough firepower to get past Brentford, and let us hope it is three more points on the board for Amorim.
