Ruben Amorim press conference live Manchester United updates and team news for Brentford fixture

Ruben Amorim will answer questions from journalists at Carrington this afternoon.

Manchester United will take on Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday in the early kick-off.

Amorim has a huge chance to win back-to-back league games for the first time in his tenure. United delivered a strong performance against Chelsea and must build on that result this weekend.

United have struggled for consistency throughout Amorim's reign, but Brentford are among the bookies' favourites to be relegated and the Reds will sense an opportunity in London.

Bryan Mbeumo will return to the Gtech Community Stadium for the first time since joining United.

Amorim will be asked for the latest team news and no doubt Mbeumo will be a talking point.
