Brentford and Manchester United Current Form and Standings

Brentford have had a really poor start to the season so far. The Bees currently sit 17th in the Premier League, with just four points to their name after a handful of defeats halted their progress. Brentford’s only win so far came against Aston Villa in match week two, after beating them 1-0. They also picked up a 2-2 draw against Chelsea recently, courtesy of a Fabio Carvalho last-minute equaliser. However, Keith Andrews’ men have fallen to three defeats so far, against Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Fulham. After losing their manager and the majority of their star players over the summer, Brentford are heavy favourites to face the drop.

Manchester United really haven’t painted themselves in glory after their 15th place finish last season. Despite a 2-1 win in their last game against Chelsea, they have merely performed any better from last term’s misery. Other than last week’s win, they’ve won just one other game, which came against newcomers Burnley. Then the Red Devils have drawn one against Fulham and lost two against both Manchester City and Arsenal. This puts Ruben Amorim’s men on seven points from their opening five games, sticking them 11th in the league table. However, they already find themselves knocked out of the EFL Cup, after failing to beat League Two outfit Grimsby Town on penalties in the second round.
