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.

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

    Are Brentford that good? What's happening?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Man utd are that bad, it's an awful team, with 0 chemistry and a manager out of his depth

      • Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Defence is absolutely non-existent.

      • sulldaddy

        3 years, 8 months ago

        United are disorganized, but Brentford is playing well.

        Basically everything is coming off for them. That counter couldn’t have been any more perfect if they tried another 1000 times

        3 years, 8 months ago

        To think they could have got Conte and decided Radnick/Ten was a better idea

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The funniest thing isn't the result, it's that there's actual man utd fans that expected wins inexplicably

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I didn’t expect a win, just a performance of some sort of fight following last week. What a fool
          I am

        i put a few bets on united to win after they conceded the first goal - but this is worth the cost, unbelievable

        Somehow, the bookies are still only giving 40/1 for a united win..

            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

      • Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years

        If Kdb made that pass Toney just made everyone would be creaming their pants.

        As an American, Man U was always the club that got all the publicity in the USA. To see this is astonishing. Not unhappy though

        1. A. PRISE
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They still get publicity

      • Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years

        Mark was asked earlier this week in a video
        Which Man Utd player would you pick ?
        "Dalot because he's the cheapest" he replied
