Amad, Garnacho and Hojlund to start! – Manchester United predicted starting XI vs Brentford: Confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League
Ruben Amorim has hinted at heavy rotation before Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Club
Ruben Amorim will “risk” plenty of changes for Manchester United against Brentford this weekend despite their emphatic lead in the Europa League semi-finals.
Sunday’s latest Premier League clash in west London is sandwiched in between the two legs of their last-four tie on the continent against Athletic Club, with the Red Devils having eased to a commanding 3-0 victory at San Mames on Thursday night.
Amorim got a key boost in Bilbao with Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt both returning from injury off the bench, with Altay Bayindir also back in the squad
However, young duo Ayden Heaven and Toby Collyer remain sidelined along with long-term absentees Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee and Diogo Dalot, who won’t play again this season. Jonny Evans has also yet to return.
With Dalot out and Mazraoui rested, highly-rated 18-year-old wing-back Jaydan Kamason could be in line for his senior United debut at Brentford, while fellow teenager Tyler Fredricson will hope to feature again after playing 90 minutes in defence against Wolves last month.
Chido Obi and Sekou Kone are ineligible for the Europa League but both travelled to Spain anyway as Amorim conducted a Friday training session involving several youngsters ahead of Brentford, with the likes of Harry Amass and Bendito Mantato unused substitutes in Bilbao along with Kamason and fredrickson.
Predicted Manchester United XI: Onana; Fredricson, De Ligt, Shaw; Kamason, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass; Mainoo, Mount; Obi
Doubt: Evans
Injured: Martinez, Zirkzee, Dalot, Heaven, Collyer
Rested: Mazraoui
Time and date: 2pm BST on Sunday May 4, 2025
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium, London
