United team to face Brentford revealed

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his Manchester United side to face Brentford.

The Reds' final home game of the 2022/23 season offers an opportunity to help take a big step towards clinching European football next term.

The last visit of Brentford in the league came way back in 1946, at Maine Road, when Jack Rowley scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory. We won the reverse fixture in London 3-1 earlier this season.

The key news is that Juan Mata makes his first Premier League start of the campaign, his third in all competitions, after an impressive cameo in the 1-1 draw with his former club Chelsea. His position could be on either flank or more centrally.

The Spaniard's introduction is the only change to the line-up, with Marcus Rashford on the bench.

Rangnick welcomes South Americans Fred and Edinson Cavani back into the matchday squad as United aim to finish the home campaign on a positive note. Both are among the substitutes, along with Jesse Lingard, who also returns.

 

 

United: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles; Matic, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes (c), Mata; Ronaldo.

Substitutes: Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Fernandez, Lingard, Fred, Cavani, Garnacho, Rashford.
