Manchester United vs Brentford injury news with 9 players out and 7 doubts

Brentford face a trip to Old Trafford this weekend as they look to cause yet more disappointment to a Manchester United team that is winless in five games.

The Red Devils decided to keep hold of Erik Ten Hag amid the pressure on him and will face a Brentford side who won their last game 5-3 against Wolves. Last season, the Bees threw away all three points at Old Trafford as Scott McTominay scored twice in stoppage time to win it for the hosts.

Mathias Jensen's first-half effort had put the visitors ahead and they looked set for all three points until two late, late goals from the Scotland international secured a 2-1 home win. The reverse fixture in March ended 1-1. Ahead of this weekend’s game, we have rounded up the latest injury news with plenty of issues for both sides to contend with.

Yoane Wissa - OUT

The winger is back on grass after suffering an ankle injury in September, however, it is unlikely that he will return before November.

Josh Da Silva - OUT

Midfielder Da Silva has been dealing with a knee injury and, much like Wissa, is unlikely to return over the next few games for Brentford.

Igor Thiago - OUT

Thiago doesn’t look set to return for at least a month more as he suffered a knee injury in pre-season which he is still recovering from.

Rico Henry - OUT

Henry has been ruled out of Saturday’s clash against United, but he is back in training so shouldn’t be on the sidelines for too much longer.

Aaron Hickey - OUT

The Scottish international underwent surgery on his leg in late August which he remains to be recovering from.

Gustavo Nunes - OUT

Brazilian prodigy Nunes is yet to make an appearance for Brentford after joining from Gremio in the summer. He is dealing with a lower back issue.

Leny Yoro - OUT

Yoro, much like Nunes, is yet to make a competitive appearance since moving in the summer. The United centre-back won’t likely return until November due to his ankle issue.

Tyrell Malacia - OUT

Dutch full-back Malacia hasn’t been able to play at all this season because of a knee injury, but he is back on grass. Saturday’s game will come too soon.

Noussair Mazraoui - OUT

The Moroccan underwent precautionary heart surgery which should keep him sidelined until the next international break in November.

Harry Maguire - DOUBT

There was a chance that the United defender could play against Brentford, but it looks to be too soon as Maguire has been recovering from a calf strain.

Mathias Jensen - DOUBT

Brentford midfielder Jensen could be in line to return against Manchester United as he has been in training over the break. Thomas Frank said he “is in a better place”.

Luke Shaw - DOUBT

Shaw has been out since pre-season, but the United full-back could be in line to return against Brentford after recovering from a calf issue.

Mason Mount - DOUBT

Mount suffered a head injury during the 3-0 defeat to Spurs and is currently being assessed for his availability on Saturday.

Alejandro Garnacho - DOUBT

Garnacho was unable to travel with Argentina for the international break due to a knee injury. He is 50/50 for the game against Brentford.

Amad Diallo - DOUBT

The winger has been suffering with an illness whilst on international duty with Ivory Coast. It is unclear yet if he will be fit to play against Brentford.

Erik Ten Hag will be hopeful that Mainoo can at least make an appearance from the bench on Saturday following a thigh injury that ruled him out of international duty.
