Manchester United host Brentford in a crucial Premier League clash tonight, with both teams vying for European football next season. The match at Old Trafford kicks off at 20:00 BST.
Team News
Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick faces a late fitness test on defender Leny Yoro, who is a doubt for the game. The hosts are third in the table, level on points with Liverpool and Aston Villa, and a win would strengthen their grip on a Champions League spot.
Brentford, managed by Keith Andrews, are part of a congested pack from sixth to 12th place, separated by just four points. Victory would lift them above Brighton into sixth place, putting them in pole position for European qualification.
Match Preview
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Brentford win 3-1, and another victory would be a significant boost to their European ambitions. Manchester United, however, have been in strong form under Carrick, who is hoping to secure a permanent role at the club.
