At 04:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 31, the 30th round of the new Premier League season will stage a focus of attention, and the Red Devils Manchester United will challenge Brentford, a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.
Manchester United seem to be back in good form recently, with a 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League and a 4-3 win over Liverpool, the most in-form Reds of the season, in the knockout rounds of the FA Cup, which has greatly boosted the morale of the team, and manager Ten Hag has also come out of a crisis of confidence.
After the first 28 rounds of Premier League, Manchester United won 15, drew 2 and lost 11, accumulating 47 points and temporarily ranking 6th in the Premier League standings. Considering that the title race is completely hopeless, it is a more pragmatic goal to strive for the top four of the Premier League and get a ticket to next season's Champions League. At the moment, United are nine points clear of the top four and the task is very difficult to achieve.
This game against Brentford, which is of average strength, is a great opportunity for Manchester United to grab points. The data shows that Manchester United has won 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 6 meetings with Brentford, which has a very obvious advantage. Considering Manchester United have been in good form of late, winning all three points should be promising. Here's a quick look at the likely starting line-up for Manchester United.
In the goalkeeper position, it is natural that the main goalkeeper Onana is guarding the United goal, and at the back, it is not surprising that Ten Hag will continue to play the usual back four formation, and the four players who are likely to start will be Diogo Dalot, Varane, Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire will play in a pairing of centre-backs, while Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will play at wing-back.
In midfield, with Brazilian striker Casemiro out injured, Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay is expected to continue to be called upon to intercept and tackle in central midfield, while he will be partnered with the talented Maynou in a two-man midfield combination. In front of the two midfielders, Portuguese midfield leader Bruno Fernandes is expected to continue to sit in front of him as the attacking commander, organising and combing the attack, and dominate United's attacking line, while Argentine genius Garnacho and England international Marcus Rashford should be in charge of the team, feeding the ball and providing firepower for United's forward line.
On the forward line, there is no doubt that the Danish magic boy Rasmus Hojlen, who has returned from injury, will continue to lead the way, rushing forward to destroy the city for the team and carry the offensive banner. Based on the above analysis, the final 11 expected starting forces for Manchester United against Brentford are: Onana, Diogo Dalot, Varane, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, Mainou, Rashford, B Fee, Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlen
