Manchester United suffered their fifth defeat in seven matches on Tuesday as Galatasaray twice came from behind for a famous 3-2 UEFA Champions League win at Old Trafford, increasing the pressure on Ten Hag ahead of Saturday’s Premier League visit of Brentford.
In addition to sitting bottom of their Champions League group with zero points, United approach Saturday’s game 10th in the Premier League table, already nine points adrift of the summit.
They have lost six of their 10 games across all competitions so far in 2023-24 while conceding 18 goals.
Brentford have themselves endured a frustrating start to the season, only winning one of nine games in all competitions (D5, L3).
They have gone seven without a win since overcoming Fulham in August, though that run does include a penalty shootout success at Newport County in the League Cup.
Head-To-Head:
Manchester United have won three of their four Premier League meetings with Brentford, though the lone defeat was a memorable one when they were thrashed 4-0 last August in Ten Hag’s first away game in charge.
Old Trafford has not been a happy hunting ground for Brentford, who have lost their last five away games against United in all competitions.
Their last win at Old Trafford came by a 3-1 scoreline in February 1937. The Bees have never scored a goal at the stadium in all of their EPL Matches.
Match Date and Kickoff Time:
The fixture is slated for Saturday, 7 October, 2023. With kickoff time stated as 3 p.m.
