Once again, Erik ten Hag has dodged the bullet as Manchester United manager, even though his team is off to its worst Premier League start in history. Yep, just eight points and two wins in seven games—yikes! It feels like Old Trafford has seen better days.

A seven-hour executive meeting in London, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer at the table, didn’t exactly lead to fireworks, as the club kept things hush-hush. But let's be real, Ten Hag knows he's on thin ice, and with United sitting 14th in the table, closer to the relegation zone than the top four, he’s got work to do.

But hey, not all doom and gloom—United’s got a solid home record against Brentford, winning their last five league games with a total score of 13-2. The last time Brentford left Old Trafford with a win? 1937. Yeah, it’s been a while.

Now, let’s talk about Brentford. They love flying out of the gates, scoring in the first 80 seconds of their last four matches. Crazy, right? But then, they hit a wall, failing to beat big dogs like Man City, Spurs, and West Ham. The exception? A wild 5-3 win over basement dwellers Wolves before the break. Classic Brentford.

For United, the injury list is growing. Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire are out for a few weeks. Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are still recovering. Manuel Ugarte is being assessed after an injury on Uruguay duty, while Luke Shaw and Mason Mount are question marks. On the bright side, Noussair Mazraoui, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo are back in training and could feature.

Thomas Frank (Brentford's manager) said: " I would love to have every key player available as it would make us more flexible, unpredictable and perform at an even higher level but it is an opportunity for other players to step up."
