BRE vs MNU: Kick-off Date and Time, Team News, Potential Starting XI, Head-to-Head Record.

Brentford prepares to welcome Manchester United this weekend, seeking to build on their recent positive performance and dispel doubts about their consistency.

Manchester United, under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, has faced challenges in maintaining momentum throughout the season, often stumbling just when they seemed poised for a breakthrough towards Champions League qualification.

However, with consecutive victories, including an impressive FA Cup triumph over Liverpool, they find themselves within striking distance of fifth place, which could secure their return to European competition.

Brentford, on the other hand, finds themselves precariously perched just five points above the Premier League relegation zone following a defeat to Burnley before the international hiatus.

Thomas Frank's side has struggled, winning only two of their last 17 matches across all competitions, highlighting the urgency for a turnaround in fortunes.

Kick-off Date and Time

The upcoming clash between Brentford and Manchester United is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, March 30, 2024, at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Team News

Both teams are struggling with injury concerns and suspensions, with Keane Lewis-Potter expected to step in for the suspended Sergio Reguilon for Brentford, while Ethan Pinnock eyes a return to bolster the defense.

Meanwhile, Manchester United faces uncertainties surrounding the fitness of key players such as Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Casemiro.
