Brentford v Man Utd team news: Cunha starts

Bryan Mbeumo makes a first return to Brentford since his move from west London to Manchester United over the summer.

Kick-off in the Gameweek 6 curtain-raiser at the Gtech Community Stadium is at 12.30pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

Mbeumo is joined in the visitors’ starting XI by Matheus Cunha, who made his return from a hamstring injury as a substitute last weekend.

That means that Rubem Amorim unites his big-money front three in a starting line-up for the first time, with Benjamin Sesko set to lead the line.

Cunha for the absent Amad Diallo, who has suffered a family bereavement, is one of three changes to United’s Gameweek 5 team.

Manuel Ugarte comes in for the suspended Casemiro in midfield, while the fit-again Diogo Dalot replaces the injured Noussair Mazrouai at wing-back.

Brentford boss Keith Andrews has made two alterations.

Aaron Hickey makes his first Premier League start in not far off two years, replacing Keane Lewis-Potter at left-back.

In an attacking move, Dango Ouattara comes in for Ethan Pinnock. That will see the Bees move to a 4-3-3, having used a 3-5-2 in recent weeks.

LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Kelleher, Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Hickey, Henderson, Damsgaard, Yarmolyuk, Schade, Ouattara, Thiago.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Henry, Pinnock, Ajer, Jensen, Onyeka, Milambo, Janelt, Lewis-Potter.

Manchester United XI: Bayindir, De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw, Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko.

Subs: Heaton, Lammens, Fredricson, Heaven, Leon, Yoro, Mainoo, Mount, Zirkzee.

    Should've gave the penalty to Mboomo anyway as he was literally about to tap the ball in.

              watched all of the them bar burnley. surely you accept those 3 have been unlucky no? i dont get the idea that cunha and mbeumo suddenly lose their talent playing for united. the reason people didnt want to own them is because they didnt think theyd get the chances. but they are

                It’s not a matter of talent, it’s the fact the system is so poor. Yes Mbeumo has been unlucky with Raya and Donnarumma saves, but that’s 2 shots out of 6 games.

                Cunha shoots on sight but never looks like scoring. The “chances” are just potshots cos they’re under so much pressure in this system.

                  If Haaland picks up a knock in the warm-up I will laugh so hard when everyone who TCs ends up with Bruno's points instead xD

                        Bruno probably still outscored Wirtz this week. I own both, much to my shame and misery!
