Team Update

Before their disappointing defeat to Galatasaray, Manchester United announced that Lisandro Martinez had aggravated an earlier foot injury.

The Argentine is expected to remain sidelined until after the New Year due to a subsequent surgery.

On United’s side, Martinez joins the likes of Amad Diallo (knee), Luke Shaw (muscle), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (thigh), Jadon Sancho (disciplinary reasons), and Tyrell Malacia (knee).

However, there’s some positive news as Kobbie Mainoo has returned to training after recovering from a knee injury.

Regarding their opponents, there have been no new issues since their stalemate against Forest.

Yet Frank is coping with multiple player absences, among which is Rico Henry, who has a long-term knee injury and is also rumored to be on Manchester United’s radar.

Kevin Schade (groin), Shandon Baptiste (shoulder), Ben Mee (calf), Mikkel Damsgaard (knee), and Josh Dasilva (hamstring) will be unavailable for Frank.

Prediction:

Even the most optimistic Manchester United fans approach the upcoming match at Old Trafford with a degree of caution.

However, Saturday presents a golden chance for Ten Hag’s squad to regain momentum, especially with a Brentford team weakened by injuries and not in their usual formidable form.

We say: Manchester United 2-1 Brentford
