Welcome to Brentford vs Manchester United LIVE Report!

Good afternoon and welcome to Standard Sport’s LIVE coverage of Brentford vs Manchester United in the Premier League!

Christian Eriksen is quickly returning to the club he left this summer during an intriguing match in West London, where Erik ten Hag is eager to take home his first win as Red Devils boss.

United started another era in a now familiar, sad way, losing 2-1 to Brighton on home soil at Old Trafford thanks to Pascal Gross’ support in the first half.

Ten Hag could well recall Cristiano Ronaldo in his starting line-up against a Brentford side who started their second season at the top level with a spirited 2-2 comeback draw against Leicester last weekend, and successfully bounced back from 2-0 behind thanks to Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva’s late rocket.

Meanwhile, Brentford hopes to make a debut for the new signing and Eriksen’s replacement/Denmark teammate Mikkel Damsgaard.

Kick-off is here at 5:30 PM BST, so stay tuned for team news, build-up and live updates, with expert analysis from Malik Ouzia at the Gtech Community Stadium!
