Man United make unusual change ahead of Brentford match in desperate attempt

Manchester United have reportedly made an unusual change to their plans ahead of their match against Brentford.

On Saturday night, Erik ten Hag’s men will resume their Premier League campaign against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

United are hoping to launch a late charge to qualify for next season’s Champions League and the latest international break has allowed some of Ten Hag’s injured stars to make a return.

The likes of Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Lisandro Martinez are well on their way to a full return.

As reported by The Sun, the Red Devils have decided to travel to London on matchday, instead of heading down from Manchester the day before.

It has been claimed that normally, United players and staff would fly to the capital a day before kick-off but opted to travel on the day on this occasion.

With the new travel schedule, it allows the injured players extra time to make a full recovery.

Young star Kobbie Mainoo was missing from training on Thursday after feeling unwell.

Speaking ahead of the match on Friday, boss Ten Hag said: “Yesterday he skipped training because he was ill. I don’t know (if he will be fit for Brentford).

“We hope. Today he is there (in training), not fully recovered but we still have many hours before tomorrow with kick-off at 8pm.”

Aside from the above-mentioned players, defender Harry Maguire suffered an injury during the international break with England and is currently a doubt for the match against the Bees.

Late decisions are set to be made on Casemiro and defender Jonny Evans. Brazilian midfielder Casemiro missed United’s 4-3 FA Cup win over Liverpool due to a hamstring injury.

When asked about Luke Shaw, Ten Hag reveals he expects the full-back to return before the end of the season.

The Dutchman said: “Yes, I expect him back before the end of the season, that is the plan and he is still on schedule for this. He will return into our team.”
