Brentford — Manchester United : Match Preview and Prediction for September 27,2025

Brentford began the season without Thomas Frank, who nurtured the “Bees” since their Championship days, transforming the red-and-whites into a formidable Premier League mid-table side before departing for a promotion to Tottenham. His replacement, Kit Andrews, is known for his adeptness at set-piece plays, yet the Irishman lacks prior experience as a head coach before joining Brentford. This inexperience poses a significant risk for the team during the initial phases of transitioning from one manager to another.

So far, the “Bees” haven’t been particularly impressive. In their last Premier League outing, Brentford lost 1-3 to Fulham on their home ground. Although they scored first against the “Cottagers,” their advantage was quickly lost and never recovered. This defeat marked their third of the season and their third consecutive loss away from home. Their home form, however, looks slightly better, with 4 points from 2 matches. It remains to be seen whether they can translate this home advantage against Manchester United, a team whose form and defensive capabilities are also unpredictable. Gustavo Nunes and Magoma will be unavailable for the hosts against the “Devils.”

Following a thoroughly disastrous derby at the Etihad (0-3), the Mancunians partially redeemed themselves in front of their home crowd against Chelsea (2-1). However, the red-and-blacks managed to establish their crucial advantage primarily in the first half, playing with a man advantage from the 5th to the 45th minute. In stoppage time, Amorim’s squad then lost midfielder Casemiro due to two yellow cards.

Ultimately, they managed to hold onto their lead, though Chalobah still created a tense finish for the “Devils.” Their second win in three matches slightly quelled talks of Amorim’s imminent dismissal, but the upcoming test against Brentford could easily reignite those discussions. Casemiro, who was sent off against the “Blues,” and the long-term injured full-back Martinez, will not be available for the visitors in this fixture.
