Manchester United will look to put an end to their recent run of poor form as they host Brentford in the Premier League this evening.

United have won just one of their past six games but avoided a third consecutive defeat after Cristiano Ronaldo salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea on Thursday.

It adds to the sense that United’s season is already over ahead of the arrival of Erik ten Hag from Ajax in the summer.
