United generally have a good record against Brentford at Old Trafford, winning all of the last three head-to-head games at Old Trafford.
Brentford's away form in the league has also been poor, with the Bees losing four of their last five league games on the road.
This will likely be a very close and competitive affair, but we're backing Ten Hag's side to edge it. We predict: Man Utd 2-1 Brentford.

CLAIM NOWManchester United are looking to ease the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag as they look horns with Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.
Manchester United is in turmoil. The Red Devils' disappointing start to the season has led to growing pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. Despite a talented squad, the team lacks a clear tactical identity and has struggled to deliver consistent performances. With reports suggesting that the club's owners are considering potential replacements, a poor result against Brentford this weekend could spell the end for ten Hag. In contrast, Brentford has enjoyed a solid start to the season and will be a tough opponent for the struggling United.
United enter this game amidst a poor run of form having failed to win any of their last five games in all competitions. United's most recent game was a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, where Erik ten Hag's side failed to produce any moments of real quality, a result that followed a 3-3 draw in Porto, where a last-gasp Harry Maguire equaliser from a set-piece prevented a defeat. Those results followed a convincing 0-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, which was preceded by a 1-1 draw with FC Twente and a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.
Brentford's latest game was a goal-filled encounter that saw them beat Wolves 5-3. Goals from Nathan Collins, Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Nørgaard, Ethan Pinnock and Fábio Carvalho sealed what was a deserved win for the Bees. Prior results in the league include a 1-1 draw against West Ham United, a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham, a 2-1 loss against Manchester City and a 3-1 win over Southampton.

Claim NowThe Red Devils will hope that Kobbie Mainoo is fit enough to start, after the teenage midfielder missed international duty with a tight hamstring.
Bruno Fernandes remains out through suspension after his red card against Tottenham Hotspur, while Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui and Alejandro Garnacho all seem likely to miss out.
Predicted lineup: Onana; Lindelöf, De Ligt, Evans, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Antony, Eriksen, Rashford; Højlund.
Like the home side, Brentford are suffering from a lengthy injury list, with Rico Henry, Igor Thiago, Yoane Wissa, Aaron Hickey, Mathias Jensen, Josh Dasilva and Gustavo Nunes all on the treatment table.
The Bees are likely to stick with the same side that started the win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
Predicted lineup: Flekken; Van den Berg, Pinnock, Collins, Ajer; Janelt, Nørgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter; Schade.
