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.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Roerslev, Jensen, Dasilva, Mbeumo, Toney.

Subs: Wissa, Ghoddos, Onyeka, Strakosha, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Fernandes, Eriksen, Sancho, Rashford, Ronaldo.

Subs: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Elanga, Garner, McTominay, Garnacho.

            Being a United fan doesn't help. I generally make it a rule never to have my own players in, but this time the price was just too tasty.

    The only player I will have from Brentford at this point is Dasilva and he is parking off on my bench. Other could be bandwagons tbf.

    This UTD is so poor a schoolboy side will teach them a lesson.

    That game was certainly… something. From an FPL perspective, Manchester United now has no players owned by more than 10% of all managers. Highest is Rashford on 9.8, and that will surely head downwards today.

        100%, forgot about all the years of smugness it's the delusion that gets me, even to this day they think they're going to dominate and walk teams over somehow

        This, they were the ones who were calling for the likes of CR7 to sign.

        They as much part of the problem.

        Why do the fans deserve it? They've been outright exploited for years.

          Because they’re mostly glory supporters who gave it out for years and have a superiority complex. As the guy above said, they think they’ll walk into every game and win.

        It was the beginning of the end of Ole, might be the end of Ten Hag. Serious pressure already. That team selection was shocking today.

        Maddison because he is 100 miles ahead of Rodrigo.

        Maddison's next game is better, but Rodrigo is better mid-term and a lot cheaper.
