The Red Devils will hope to pick up their first points of the season following their 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. Erik ten Hag decided against starting Ronaldo against Brighton due to the forward's lack of match sharpness. The Portuguese came on as a second-half substitute but failed to make a goalscoring contribution. Ronaldo has a very good chance of starting against Brentford. Ten Hag has confirmed that the forward has trained well leading to the game against the Bees. The Dutchman has already made up his mind but didn't speak it out. Ahead of the Brentford game, Ten Hag said (via the ): “So, he had a good training week. I thought he played a little bit longer than half an hour (against Brighton). I would say he now has two half a games. The starting XI, we will see tomorrow. I, of course, have made my decision, but I (will) keep it.” If Ronaldo starts, he could be the lone forward, with Jadon Sancho and on the flanks. Anthony Martial has still not recovered from his injury and will not feature against Brentford. MATCHDAY.
