Reds prepare for Premier League return v Brentford

Thursday 28 March 2024 18:15

Our cameras captured the Manchester United players hard at work on Thursday, following the conclusion of the international break.

Erik ten Hag’s Reds are preparing for a late start against Brentford on Saturday night, with kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium set for 20:00 GMT.

MUTV's live coverage of the game will begin at 18:55 GMT.

This weekend’s match is the first of 10 remaining Premier League fixtures and everybody at United is determined to finish the season on a high, with European qualification up for grabs.

Many of our international players were training at Carrington again, including the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay. Mason Mount was also involved as he continues to build his fitness following a return from injury.

Take a look at the gallery of images below to see who was involved…

EARLY TEAM NEWS

Remember, both United and Brentford are missing a player due to suspension. 

Amad, our recent match-winner against Liverpool, is banned following his unfortunate dismissal in the classic Emirates FA Cup tie. 

Former Reds defender Sergio Reguilon is also ineligible after he was red-carded in Brentford's defeat to Burnley.

We would like to remind you that Erik’s pre-match press conference will be available to watch at the slightly earlier time of 12:30 GMT on Friday afternoon.
