Manchester United XI vs Brentford: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League

Red Devils have key defender back in the fold

Harry Maguire starts for Manchester United this evening after serving his suspension, with Leny Yoro also back in the side.

Matheus CUnha is left out with discomfort in his hip flexor, while Lisandro Martinez is suspended.

Michael Carrick was missing Maguire, Yoro, Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt against Chelsea, where United escaped with a 1-0 win thanks to Matheus Cunha.

De Ligt remains out with a back injury, alongside Patrick Dorgu who is sidelined with a hamstring problem.

At Stamford Bridge, Ayden Heaven was partnered by natural right-back Noussair Mazraoui in the heart of defence.

The pair could continue in the middle against Brentford should Yoro not be fit enough to return, although Carrick indicated that the Frenchman could be in contention for a comeback.

“We are still working [on him], so there’s a possibility, but at this stage, we’re not 100 per cent sure,” Carrick said on Thursday.

Carrick also said that Dorgu was still not ready to train with the first-team squad having been out since January when he hobbled off in the 3-2 win at Arsenal.

Otherwise, United will be at full strength in the other two-thirds.

Kobbie Mainoo returns to partner Casemiro in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes sitting in behind a front three of Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
