Brentford vs Manchester United team news
New Brentford signing Mikkel Damsgaard will hope to make his debut this evening after completing a £16.7million move from Italian outfit Sampdoria.
Sergi Canos (hamstring), Ethan Pinnock (knee) and Kristoffer Ajer (hamstring) are all expected to miss out, however.
For United, Cristiano Ronaldo is pushing to start, while Eriksen could move into a deeper midfield role at the expense of either Fred or Scott McTominay.
Anthony Martial is a doubt along with Victor Lindelof, Facundo Pellistri, Brandon Williams and Phil Jones.
Brentford vs Manchester United prediction
The Bees took a solid point on the opening weekend while United floundered, but their road form has been not quite-so-tragic in recent times and the Red Devils could nab a tight win here to boost morale.
Man United to win 1-0.
