Manchester United host Brentford at Old Trafford in the final fixture of the Premier League's 34th round. This match carries significant weight in the battle for European qualification spots. The Red Devils currently sit third, but are ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa only on goal difference and goals scored. Should Michael Carrick's side lose today, the Merseysiders would leapfrog them into third place. Brentford are ninth, yet only two points adrift of sixth-placed Brighton.
The Bees have won their last two encounters against Manchester United, both victories coming on home turf. Tonight, they will be aiming for their first-ever Premier League win at Old Trafford.
United have lost some of the momentum they rapidly built after Carrick's appointment as interim manager, securing only two wins in their last five matches. Brentford, meanwhile, have drawn their last five league outings.
Carrick has made two changes from the Chelsea game, with Harry Maguire and Amad Diallo replacing Noussair Mazraoui and Matheus Cunha. Patrick Dorgu returns to the squad after a long injury layoff but starts on the bench.
Keith Andrews fields the same starting XI that featured in the goalless draw against Fulham. Josh Dasilva is back in the squad for the first time since January 2024. Igor Thiago once again leads the attack for the Londoners, supported by Ouattara and Schade on the flanks.
