Manchester United vs Brentford: Former Chelsea striker shares his prediction for this game

Pundit Chris Sutton has backed Manchester United to secure all three points when we face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.

The former Chelsea striker has backed Red Devils striker Rasmus Hojlund to be star of the game against the Bees.

Speaking to the BBC, Chris Sutton said: “You wonder when the pressure is really going to start to build on Erik ten Hag, and dropping more points here certainly wouldn’t help his cause.

“The one crumb of comfort for Manchester United fans is the way Rasmus Hojlund is playing up front, but I am not impressed with their new goalkeeper, Andre Onana.

“So far he has been a downgrade on David de Gea. Although he edges him with his feet, I am also quite interested in what he does with his hands, and he needs to do better there.

“Brentford have lacked a spark in but I don’t think Man United will keep a clean sheet, but some moments of individual brilliance might win it for them — Hojlund may just make the difference.”
