Brentford v Manchester United predictions

Manchester United enjoyed by far their best moment of the season when achieving 4-3 extra-time success over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals and they can back it up by defeating Brentford on Saturday.

A place in the FA Cup final looks highly likely for the Red Devils, who are 2-9 to advance from their last-four clash with Coventry, but their immediate focus will be on Premier League matters as they strive to stay in the race for Champions League qualification.

Erik ten Hag's side are nine points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa and six behind fifth-placed Tottenham, so they can't afford to fall short this weekend.

However, they dug themselves out of a massive hole against Liverpool and will be looking to show the same resilience over the remaining weeks of the campaign.

While United are looking to increase the pressure on teams above them, 15th-placed Brentford are keen to put some extra distance between themselves and their relegation rivals.

Ivan Toney's January return was supposed to be the spark which pulled them clear of the danger zone but the poor results have kept coming with only seven points added from the last ten games.

Toney has done his bit by contributing four goals but Brentford's injury-hit defence has been exposed frequently.

Last season the Bees had the joint-fifth best defensive record in the division with 46 goals conceded, but it has been a very different story in the 2023-24 campaign with 54 goals shipped in 29 matches.

Thomas Frank's task has been made incredibly difficult by absences for Ben Mee, Ethan Pinnock, Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry, who were key components of the Bees' first-choice back five.

None of the quartet are expected to feature against United but Brentford are boosted by the likelihood of a first start in almost four months for Bryan Mbeumo, who came off the bench in the 2-1 loss at Burnley.

Bees' fans will be excited by the prospect of Mbeumo and Toney being paired together for the first time this season, but added potency in the final third may not be enough to secure three much-needed points.

United's defence will be in for a stern examination but their star-studded attack can win them the game.

Rasmus Hojlund (seven goals in his last seven appearances) and Marcus Rashford (three goals in three) are playing with confidence and their finishing skills could be decisive in a high-scoring contest.

Manchester United to win
The Red Devils have won five of their last seven league games and can make further headway at the expense of out-of-sorts Brentford, who are winless in six.

Marcus Rashford to score at any time
The 26-year-old is a confidence-based player and his belief should be sky high after three goals in the last three United games.

Frank Onyeka to be carded
Onyeka has been carded eight times in just 22 league appearances this season and looks overpriced for another caution.
