Harry Redknapp agrees with three pundit predictions for Brentford vs Manchester United

Pundits are predicting Manchester United to struggle in Saturday's Premier League against Brentford - as Erik ten Hag's side look to bridge the gap towards the Champions League qualification places.

The Reds travel to the Gtech Community Stadium in search of building on their thrilling, last-gasp FA Cup quarter-final victory against Liverpool at Old Trafford two weeks ago. It will be United's first visit to Brentford since they were humiliated 4-0 in August 2022, Ten Hag's second game in charge.

Here, the Manchester Evening News takes a look at their predictions for Saturday's game.
