How Man United Could Line up Vs Brentford as Erik Ten Hag Hunts for First Premier League Win

• Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to Man United's starting lineup when they play Brentford on Sunday
• The Portuguese had to settle for a place on the bench against Brighton as United played without a proper striker
• Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, and Luke Shaw could all be dropped for the Brentford trip, with Donny van de Beek squeezing his way into the starting XI
• The Red Devils will be targeting their first win of the new season when they play the Bees, having lost their opener against Brighton

Erik ten Hag could make at least three changes from the team that played Brighton when Machester United take on Brentford on Sunday.

United kicked off the new Premier League season on a disappointing note after they suffered a 2-1 defeat against the Seagulls at Old Trafford last Saturday.

Ten Hag was hoping for a dream start to life in his Premier League debut during the clash, only to be handed a reality check by Brighton.

Despite the availability of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Dutchman lined up without a substantive striker during the fixture, with Jadon Sancho, Christian Eriksen, and Marcus Rashford leading the line.

However, Ten Hag could be forced to change tact when United travel to Brentford on Sunday, August 14.

How Man United could line up against Brentford

The 52-year-old is expected to make a couple of changes in his team that played in the season opener.

While David de Gea is expected to keep his place between the sticks, major changes could be made in all departments of the field.

Ten Hag is likely to replace Luke Shaw with Malacia on the left, with Diogo Dalot keeping his place on the right as Harry Maguire partners new signing Lisandro Martinez in the heart of defence.
