Manchester United must respond against Brentford at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday night. United returned from the international break with a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle at St.
James' Park, but the scoreline arguably flattered the terrible performance, which Erik ten Hag put down to the opposition being 'more determined'.
The Reds failed to threaten Newcastle throughout that contest and they need to bounce back against Brentford, who won the reverse fixture 4-0 in August after ruthlessly putting Ten Hag's side to the sword in the first half.
A positive result against Brentford is also required because the 'top four race' has suddenly been blown open. United looked almost certain to finish in third position this season, but they've now slipped down to fifth in the table.
