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.
