Manchester United welcome Brentford to Old Trafford on Monday evening in a key Premier League encounter. Brentford, chasing a European place, face a tough run-in including this match, while United aim to secure Champions League qualification under interim boss Michael Carrick. Kick-off is at 8pm.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews expressed determination ahead of the visit to Manchester United. His side sits in contention for Europe and could rise to sixth with a victory. Andrews highlighted the challenging fixtures ahead, including trips to Manchester City and Liverpool, plus home derbies against West Ham and Crystal Palace. 'We've put ourselves in a good position, but we're not content with where we are and we want to keep pushing,' he said. Andrews described Old Trafford as a 'special place' and praised United's form under Carrick, calling it a 'really tough test' that his players should embrace. United, currently third, need points to confirm a Champions League spot. Carrick, whose interim tenure has revived the team's fortunes, focused on the present. 'I enjoy being here and I love being here. It's a real privilege,' he stated, emphasizing improvement until season's end without speculating on his future. Team news sees United hoping Leny Yoro returns to defense, with Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire suspended, and Matthijs de Ligt unavailable. Brentford welcome back Rico Henry, Vitaly Janelt, and Jordan Henderson to training but they are not match-fit; Josh Dasilva and Kaye Furo remain sidelined, along with Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo for the season. The match airs on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event, with streaming on Sky Go.
