Brentford v Man Utd team news: Ronaldo starts

Rounding off the day’s Premier League action is Brentford v Manchester United, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

It’s a game that has relatively little riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective: Marcus Rashford is the most-selected player in this fixture with a 10.1% ownership, which about sums it up.

As for the team news, Cristiano Ronaldo is recalled to make his first start of the season in Erik ten Hag’s only change.

Scott McTominay is the player to make way.

Thomas Frank goes to a wing-back system for the visit of the Red Devils, making two changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Leicester City last week.

Mads Roerslev and £4.5m FPL midfielder Josh Dasilva are promoted to the starting XI as Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa drop out.

    How is Maguire still on the pitch?
    He should've been subbed off.....

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Martinez was rightly subbed.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        And Shaw

  2. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I thought people here were saying Haaland got booked?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Booed old man !

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Sky Sports website had Haaland scoring a 5th goal, then took the page down.

  3. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    The space there wtf is happening

      1 year, 8 months ago

      They are all playing like this wasn't going to happen in month of Sundays.

  5. el polako

    How many transfers warrants WC ?

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Imo 4

    2. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      4 I'd say

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      -12+

      For starters too not just to swap Dasilva in etc.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Got Bailey, Alvarez and potentially Mount to get rid off and Ward to upgrade.

        Hmm....

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Tipping point!

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Also don't own Haaland as went for KDB instead, it was nice today but I need to wash my pants.

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Pfff... About four(ish)?

  6. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Don't feel too sorry for Man U fans.... there are quite a few decent pubs on and around Kew Green.

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      also not far to travel home.

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Jadon Sancho wants that Nicolas Pepe title!

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Get in Martinelli tonight or wait? Will he rise tonight? Anyone to predict ?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He will not rise tonight

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Let fplstatistics.co.uk do the prediction

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Just get him

    4. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Sign da ting

    5. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I think he'll rise.

      A lot of rubbish midfielders that people are shedding.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        But I was hoping to get the rise tomorrow the earliest not tonight. He is at 70% atm

    6. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Tomorrow night probably

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I can live with tomorrow

    7. LÖrKingMuch
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      FFFix has both DaSilva and Martinelli likely to rise tonight. Bailey to DaSilva is tempting if only to protect squad value and where possible ride price rises

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Ye. I am very tempted.
        Might be a short term move though to chase 0.1 value. But if nothing else is really wrong it could work

  9. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    ManU revival. Second half clean sheet so far!

  10. Hairy Potter
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    This is like watching Steve Bruce's Newcastle team. Maybe now the likes of Rio might understand why the Newcastle fans weren't too happy with Bruce.

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Just that Steve Bruce is all of the owners and admin people that are in control of MU.

  11. PartyTime
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Mac Allister is still Manchester Utd’s leading goal scorer this season

  12. Caravagio
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Bailey to
    A) dasilva
    B) dewsbury hall

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Asking the same

  13. Bobadoba
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    If Mount does nothing next game then Mount out for Foden?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Check Foden injury?

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Hes ok just a left hook from Haaland

    2. tim
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Might do the same

      1. Bobadoba
        • 14 Years

    I smell toney, help me think

    A) Robertson + Archer - - 4.5 def + Toney
    B) Mount + Archer - - - 5.5 mid + Toney
    C) Mount + Haaland - - - KDB + Toney
    D) hold your horses

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Solskjaer wasn’t that bad after all

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Man Utd are new Arsenal just 3 years behind.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        You must really hate Arsenal to say that. Very deluded. We were never this bad, nor did we waste hundreds of millions on completely crap players.

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I'm Hammers fan, so yeah.
          You got me 🙂

        2. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Yeah, I agree

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Oh he was people just didn't know how bad it could get.

      This isn't even rock bottom.

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A succession of mistakes either by the Board or the managers since Ferguson left.

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Should have kept Moyes.

    A moment of silence for...

    Last weeks knee jerkers selling Jesus and buying Mitrovic.

    Let that be a lesson for all of you about to knee-jerk tonight.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

        Bit different when it's cheap enablers though...

  21. nolard
    • 9 Years

    I don't think a decent manager could make it work at united now. the place is rotten

  22. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Would a united fan take a 30 year wait for another title at this stage?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Dunno.
      What's life expectancy in Essex ?

    2. Fish up a tree

      Does the championship count?

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Good question! They can win the championship within the next 30 years surely. Right?

  23. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Did the commentator just say “they’ve never been 4-0 down at half time before” ?

    Liverpool last season?…

  24. Paul Psychic Octopus

  25. Paqueta Rice

    Commentator highlighting that it’s not a full strength Brentford squad. Way to kick us while we’re down 😆

  26. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    There were people saying Dalot is a steal at 4.5m

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      They're saying Shaw is the new Roberto Carlos last summer.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        he is.
        as in "only worth playing for a pub team via ebay"

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Yeah should have said prime time Roberto Carlos...
          He was a beast, I played football at semi pro level in late 90's and RC was a God to me. Power, pace and this unbelievable shot. Remember in one game he scored almost from where corner flag is.

  27. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    The trouble with United being so abject is that it's difficult to gauge just how good Brighton and Brentford are.

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Two good teams with very good managers

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      True for Brentford, but Brighton have been consistently reliable for a few years now under Potter.

    Dasilva early sub. Not ideal tbh
