Brentford vs Manchester United: Match details
Match: Brentford vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Date: January 19, 2022
Kick-off time: 8:00 pm, January 19, 2022 (UK time)
Stadium: Brentford Community Stadium
Betting prediction: Brentford 1-1 Manchester United
Brentford has hit a bad patch of form at the wrong time as the Bees have dropped four of their last five in the Premier League and must now face a Manchester United outfit which, on paper, is better.
But on the pitch is another matter entirely, and the way United let their lead slip against Aston Villa shows that there could be a pathway for points for Brentford.
Thomas Frank's men have won three of their last four home fixtures while United has drawn three across the same period. This could end in the same result here.

Brentford vs Manchester United: Recommended bets
To Score Anytime: Bruno Fernandes (12/5) - Bruno Fernandes bagged a brace in the 2-2 draw against Aston Villa and though he has not been in rich scoring form of late, he is still second in the team for goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo and his ability to make late runs into the area could be a danger factor for Brentford to negotiate.
Correct Score: Brentford 1-1 Manchester United (13/2) - Guessing the correct score is a bit of a gamble for a few key factors makes this a pretty fair shout considering the good odds attached. Both sides played to a draw in their first meeting this season, while the pair hardly seem to be in any semblance of consistent form. United's recent record reads well, but their performances paint a different picture. A draw is a real possibility.

Brentford vs Manchester United: Match preview
One for the neutrals at the start of the current Premier League season after announcing themselves with a 2-0 win over Arsenal, Brentford has hit hard times of late after Thomas Frank's men have posted four losses across their last five appearances in the league. For a side that was regularly lauded for some of the attacking football on offer, it has come in only small patches this season as the likes of Ivan Toney (four), Yoane Wissa (three), and Bryan Mbeumo (three) have struggled to hit the back of the net in any measure of consistency.
Brentford remain a well-drilled outfit that, despite the talent they do have on offer (which is notable), must perform better than the sum of their parts. But a win against United would go a long way in keeping them as the neutral fans club of choice.
Regarding Manchester United, the Red Devils will unquestionably be out to set the record straight after letting a 2-0 lead slip against a Philippe Coutinho-inspired substitute performance for Aston Villa. It was a result that perhaps succinctly summed up the season for United regardless of who has been at the helm after the Old Trafford outfit continues to lag well behind their biggest rivals, including a 23-point gap between themselves and table-topping Manchester City.
Yes, Ronaldo (eight) and Bruno Fernandes (seven) are scoring goals, but the lion's share of the first-team squad is hardly performing to a level commensurate with the club's stature. The upcoming return of Paul Pogba could not come soon enough for a United outfit desperate for additional creativity and a driving personality.
Brentford team news vs Manchester United
Brentford boss Thomas Frank will be without six first-team squad options as the Bees host Manchester United on Wednesday.
David Raya and Charlie Goode remain out injured while Frank Onyeka is on AFCON assignment with Nigeria. Three others are out as well as Josh Dasilva, Julian Janvier, and Zanka are all out of action. Rico Henry is back fit but at the time of writing is not expected to start.
Manchester United team news vs Brentford
Ralf Rangnick will contend with at least five absences in the Manchester United squad for a tricky away day at Brentford.
Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Jesse Lingard are all unfit for service. Eric Bailly is with the Ivory Coast squad at AFCON and also misses out here, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford should be available with Ronaldo likely to start if that holds true.
