Brentford are heading into an important away match tonight. They need to win against Manchester United.

If Brentford win tonight, they will move up to 6th place in the league.

With only a few weeks left in the Premier League, it’s a big question who will finish in 6th place.
Right now, many teams are still competing for that spot.

Brentford do need all the points of this match to be able to jump from the 9th to the 6th spot at once while Manchester United do need the victory to just stay in their rank, otherwise their Champions League spot for the next year is almost preserved. This game is more important for Brentford than United.
Obviously Manchester United odds in this match are higher to win, they are playing home after all. A draw cannot be excluded and all Brentford latest games ended with a draw by the way.

[B-BossMan]

Manchester United will host Brentford at home. They are, of course, the favorites in front of their home fans, but Brentford’s goal in the league is clear. They have a chance to finish 6th in the league and will make the most of it until the very end. Brentford’s last six matches have ended in draws. That’s a really interesting statistic. In three of those matches, they scored, while the other three ended in scoreless draws. I think they can score against Manchester United because the United defense tends to concede goals. United are the favorites to win, but I don’t think Brentford will give up easily.

Manchester United are already favourites in this game and nobody can dispute this fact based on the club's recent form in the league, they are aiming for European next season and can't afford to lose any game at this point. Brentford do not pose much threat against the red devils especially now that Manchester United are beginning to observe some stability in performance. Something that seemed rare to the team earlier this season when they couldn't record three straight win in the first half of the season.

 I like your confidence here Dude, Manchester United have actually done the little balancing they can, they really suprised us alots this season with thier improved dedication and consistency, comparing thier performances with Chelsea is something, Chelsea truly started this season with a strong point but eventually lost everything and dropped to mid-table, Manchester United look much more stable right now and with thier current form now, they can beat Brentford easily in today's match tonight, they have shown us in thier previous matches that they can deliver accurately even when people underestimated then when meeting with big team,although it may not  be easy as we thought.

However, Brentford performance these days are weak, because when you check all the previous matches thier performances were very poor and they need to work on thier tactics and patterns, facing draws consecutively is never a good step or solution to thier current performance. Atleast having a good records would be better at the end of the season.

Good game for Arsenal yesterday, they desperately needed those 3 points. However I’m very critical of Gyokeres, his performance yesterday is more reason why Arsenal should be looking for a striker in the next transfer window. I don’t recall why Arteta didn’t go for Victor Osimhen when  he wanted to leave Napoli, he could have made this team complete.

Victor Gyokeres disappointed me yesterday, he couldn’t give a good cross to his teammates so they can make the score 2 knowing fully well Arsenal needs more goals in this competition, ever since he joined Arsenal, I have not seen any good impact he has done in Arsenal. He’s not performing very well I think Arsenal made a very big mistake for signing him.
Arsenal was saying Victor Osimhen was costly to sign, I was so angry that Arsenal could not sign him. I know that he was one of the strikers that we fit Arsenal very well, but they could not get him into the team and that is one of the mistake that Arsenal has made they need a good striker like Victor Osimhen if they want trophies they should spend money to get good result.

As I often written in the past, for City, having a player like Haaland, makes all the difference in the world. Now we see how average Gyokeres is at the end of the day. If Arsenal had a player like Haaland at this point they would have already won the Premier League, I'm sure of that. Unfortunately there are less and less good strikers on the market, and that is a problem.

Yes, it's become very difficult to find a striker like Haaland on the market. Arsenal signed Gyokeres hoping to find a striker like him, but Gyokeres has been a failure with his performance this season. He fell far short of the expectations of Arsenal fans and the team. There are very few good strikers and good defenders left in the world market.

Take it or leave it, the fact is Manchester United is winning this game no doubt, like Manchester United only need two wins out of the remaining five games to seal their spot in the top three not just for UEFA Champions League for next season, and I'm very sure they are getting this point from Brentford, at least they are quite certain of the defense this time so they will focus more in the the front line, that is not really my worries because I know Manchester United is winning the game for sure, my concern is for Bruno Fernandez to break the assist record.

Indeed Manchester United surprised everyone this season, prior to this time Manchester United was a shadow of themselves, no one could have believed that they could finish within the top four, it's still quite unbelievable that the club would participate in the UCL after such a long time away from the competition.
When Amorim was fired, I though things will further deteriorate but fortunately it didn't rather the interim coach came in and restored the confidence of the players, brought the team back to winning ways and stabilised the team, come next season Manchester United will play in the UCL, that alone is a great achievement for the club.

It's a very important fixture for Brentford and if they could manage to hold Manchester United down tonight then it's possible that they could lay hold to the sixth position and continue to fight on till the end. But on the other hand, Manchester United needs the match points more than Brentford, they are in a great form and with the home advantage I don't see Brentford escaping Manchester United's grips tonight, the red devils will end up securing the match points in furtherance to their purchase of UCL football for next season.

It's been a good season for Manchester United they're holding onto their current position. It's impossible for them to climb to second place they're comfortable in the top six.
As for Brentford, I don't know they've dropped points and drawn their recent matches. While the difference in standings isn't huge, Brentford's current situation doesn't look very good.
A win in this match would be a great motivation for them.

[jakdanyel]

It's time to lock in for Manchester United - Brentford.

The home side is already comfortable in top 5 for the Champions League. Because there is no threat from outside this area. The closest is Brighton with an 8-point gap...

On the other hand if Brentford win this result will carry them to the 6th place directly. However it isn't easy to do it at Old Trafford. A draw wouldn't surprise me tonight. A draw with goals!

I daunt if Manchester United will win this match against Brentford today, from what I'm seeing man isn't in any title race they already qualify for champions league no matter how they lose and even if theynlose they can't lose all their remaining matches. Man utd may decide to sell this match as we all can see the clubs in England what to play in Europe this time and Brentford will be glad if they also qualify whether Europea or conference league no much goals on this match, first half of this will determine who will win between man utd and Brentford.

I'm expecting Manchester United to win the match because they are more stronger than Brentford and they are playing the match in Manchester United home so there's big possibility that Manchester United will win the match, if Manchester United should draw this match they have disappointed a lot of their fans and they have also disappointed me I believe a lot of people will predict Manchester United to win because they are on the good side of winning this match and I expect them to do it peacefully, Manchester United are fighting very hard so they can go to the champions League next season and they will not want anything to stop them from getting there so they will do everything possible and win every match possible to make sure that they secure their position in the champions League next season I believe they will win this match I have already bet on Manchester United to win.

I have checked the Manchester united line up for the match and it looks somehow strange to me. Harry Maguire is back in the defense line. But in the attack wing, I saw both Amad and Mbeumo starting. Mbeumo starting from the right wing which is where Cunha operates from. Cunha is neither in the line up or bench. Even in the missing players, I didn't see him. What really happened to him.

I believe this match is a must win for Manchester united if they want to solidify their place in the champions league spot. A careful observation will also reveal that if Brentford wins tonight's match, they will have high hopes for the Europa league.

This was how we were all thinking that it isn’t easy to do it at Old Trafford when Manchester United played Leeds few weeks ago and they lost to Leeds. Manchester United is favorite to win this match, but let’s not forget that they usually struggle against smaller clubs in the league. Old Trafford is no longer that sacred ground as it used to be when Alex was their manager. I’m backing Manchester United to win, but I’m also bracing myself up should there be disappointment.

[Merit.s]

Brentford dominated the game and created more chances for a goal but they ain't clinical enough to convert all their chances to a goal. The visitors keep on dominating the goal while Manchester United does the scoring. Thiago isn't in his best form tonight.

The first goal was from Casemiro with a header and the second from Sesko to make it 2-0 give Manchester United a rest of mind. Bruno Fernandez has made 19 goal assist so far this season. He needs one more goal assist to make him the third player with the highest goal assist in the history of Premier League.

It’s not enough to settle for a top-four finish if we have to give up our best position to another team trying to overtake us.
A perfect first half with a good score, as it boosted our goal difference to ensure that position is truly secure in case we end up tied on points at the end of the season.

Brentford’s record of neither losing nor winning so far made me think Manchester United would be held to a draw by Brentford, but in this match, Manchester United put on a show in the first half that made me doubt a goalless draw would be the final result.
If you look closely, Manchester United might score another goal in the second half.

[Silence Scream]

Manchester United are 2-0 up at home in the first half. I think Manchester United will maintain their dominance until the end of the second half as well. Brentford are trying a little harder after conceding two goals. They have to play much better in the second half, but Manchester United away is always a tough opponent. Manchester United won't give up a victory at home.

Just as expected Manchester United is delivering on the night though Brentford are looking for a way to breakthrough, United seems solid they don’t have to underestimate this Brentford side for any reason until the final whistle cos any chance Igor Thiago gets he’s going to pounce on it.

Bruno Fernandes with 19 assists for the season, what an instrumental player he’s been for United. He’s the architect and maestro of this Unitec team.

[Qhunman]

The match Is ongoing Manchester united is leading 2-0 at old trafford. Manchester united is playing good game and their performance against Brentford is good. However, the second half has started and Manchester United is still leading.

However, judging by their past records, Manchester united often win against Brentford old trafford,obvious Manchester United would secure three points by the end of the match.



 

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Could have been a different outcome in the first half if Thiago didn’t forget how to play football. That guy has scored a lot of goals this season but you wouldn’t have known it watching him tonight.

As it is, Man Utd look to be strolling to 3 points, not long left to play now
