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.

      2. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

    10. Bury94

      Salah captain Gw3 sorted then

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years

        Harsh on Jesus though!

    11. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Is anyone else feeling sorry for this United team and their fans?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hahahahahahaha

      2. Das Boot
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not at all, Couldn’t stand the smug attitudes over the years

        1. Sliver
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This.

          However, even for the biggest hater, this makes for a cringe watch

      3. Pino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No. They have been spoiled for many years and they still believe they are a top club. The board should just go if they care about the club.

      4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Couldn’t happen to a more deserved bunch, loving every minute!

    12. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Carnage

    13. SH1M1
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would you take a -4 to get Jesus in for Martinelli ?

      Currently have Rashford & Martinelli, but thinking of switching to a 523 & playing rotating 4.5 mids.

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Removing the best value 6mil mid who scored twice in 2 gws is beyond crazy... especially for a min 4

        1. SH1M1
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I know haha i just have no idea to replace Rashford with

    14. GlasgowFF
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why would De Jong not want to join?

    15. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I can’t sell Robertson before playing this rabble, he could score a hat trick…

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I might do this to get Nunez. Imagine what he can do vs Utd

    16. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Man U now bottom of league on goal difference….oh dear

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Will get even worse next week (LIV)

      2. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        And they'll take some shifting.

      3. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not a United supporter but feel the pain - Arsenal lost first three games last season & if they had not thrown last couple of games away could have made top four - never over yet to achieve something but an extremely poor start - need change & Glazers out -there is still hope

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Pain? Pain is getting beat week in week out and genuinely facing relegation. It's not the worry of whether you get in the Champions League or not.

        2. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Why are the Glazers to blame when you spend so much money anyway? They are passive owners so surely the issues are elsewhere?

    17. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This is going to be the final blow for UTD.

      Old toilet will have to be sold.

    18. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Da Silva looks excellent , he is 4.5m right ? How nailed he is?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Best bench player you can own at the moment.

        That is it.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Two newly bought players waiting to integrate into the team in/around his spot are waiting on the bench.

      3. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not nailed

    19. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Remember when united thrashed liverpool in that all important pre season game. Good times

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This and Leon Bailey put the debate to bed. Pre-season means sweet fa.

    20. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If they play out from the back they may get back in the game...

    21. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      relegation zone

    22. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rashford is atrocious

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He is my transfer out.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Playing his way to Paris?

      3. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Take the Loan PSG - lost confidence - has he fully recovered from lower back injury?

        Possible then option to have back in a year once a loan away at PSG to regain confidence

    23. Euro Raiders
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      OMG Utd are just so bad. Relegation?

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No - still a couple of weeks for the transfer window

    24. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      We are going down

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No - just need to regroup

    25. Total Slotball
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe the Utd players just can’t see each other. They should switch shirts at half time

    26. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Manchester United losing 4 v 0 Brentford - thoughts?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s a game of one halves

    27. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Man Utd fans had the SAF years and the joy of winning trophy after trophy. Now they are starting to understand how the fans of most other fans feel with the week in week out highs and lows.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Or just lows

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Winning corners

        2. Sliver
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          High lows and low lows

      3. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Highs and lows 😆

      4. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Where are the highs?

    28. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ten hag the new Frank De Boer 🙂

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Harsh on Frank.

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Lol - wonder if he will last longer than Frank De Boer

    29. stevenj196thomas
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mini Khabib could beat Martinez in the air.

    30. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Brentford fans really booing eriksen?
