A Thrilling Premier League Battle Between Two Eager Clubs
The Brentford vs Manchester United match will be one that has a lot of stakes involved for both teams. Neither of the two teams have had the most perfect start to the 2025/26 campaign, and are still looking to hit their best gear heading into the busy months of the campaign.
Brentford are lingering dangerously close to the relegation zone, as they have only been able to win one single match from five Premier League games so far. They are currently on a three-match winless run in the Premier League, and their only win came at the Gtech Community Stadium.
However, the Bees will look to rediscover their best form against this Manchester United side, who have shown signs of vulnerability defensively.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are eager to win two straight matches in the Premier League for the first time in the 2025/26 campaign.
The Red Devils produced an inspired display in their recent win over Chelsea at Old Trafford, but they have still not been able to win away from home.
They need to be a their clinical best against this out-of-form Brentford side and will look to use the momentum from the recent game to get a much-needed away victory.
Brentford Look To Use Set-Piece Threat To Torment Shaky Red Devils
Brentford have earned a reputation for being a troublesome team to face off against when it comes to set pieces. Indeed, in the 2024/25 Premier League, the Bees scored 13 goals from set-piece situations at a time when Keith Andrews was still their set-piece coach.
Since Andrews took over as their head coach from Thomas Frank, Brentford have not exactly been as lethal from set pieces as they would’ve liked to.
However, Brentford did score a smart goal from a set-piece situation against Chelsea, when a long throw-in attempt was converted by Fabio Carvalho. Brentford have the necessary personnel to be a huge threat on set pieces against Manchester United, who have been vulnerable in defending against set pieces this season.
They converted a poor goal to Arsenal in the first game because of Altay Bayindir’s issues with aerial balls, while new signing Senne Lammens remains untested. Brentford will look to keep winning corners and swing in inviting crosses to enhance their goalscoring ability and trouble the Manchester United defenders.
Can Bryan Mbeumo Come Back To Haunt His Former Side?
Bryan Mbeumo was a beloved person at Brentford before opting to join the Red Devils in a blockbuster summer transfer.
Life hasn’t really been that smooth for Mbeumo at Old Trafford, as he’s yet to properly adapt to their playing style. The Cameroonian forward has scored two goals in six matches for Manchester United so far this season, but it can be argued that he’s been let down by some of his teammates.
That is because Mbeumo boasts the highest successful shots and successful crosses by any Manchester United player in the 2025/26 Premier League, meaning that he’s doing all the right things.
Mbeumo knows the Brentford defenders’ strengths and weaknesses, which should help him trouble them and get into the right areas. He will need to be more clinical in finishing off chances and more polished in the final third to help his side get a big away win.
