Anthony Martial had a brilliant pre-season in Man United’s shirt. Unfortunately, he will not be a part of the squad ahead of Brentford’s clash. Victor Lindelof will also miss the match as per Erik ten Hag. However, the manager might play Cristiano Ronaldo from the beginning of the match. The Portugal international came into the pitch in the second half against Brighton. But he is now ready to play tomorrow’s game.

Man United’s manager Erik Ten Hag had a press briefing on Friday afternoon. There he said, “So, he had a good training week. I thought he played a little bit longer than half an hour [against Brighton]. I would say he now has two half a games.” “The starting XI, we will see tomorrow. I, of course, have made my decision, but I [will] keep it,” Ten Hag told reporters later at his pre-match press conference.

For Brentford, there will be several players out tomorrow. Defender Ethan Pinnock is unavailable due to a knee injury. In addition, Kristoffer Ajer and Sergi Canos both have hamstring issues and are unlikely to be involved. However, Brentford’s manager can deploy his new signing, Mikkel Damsgaard.
