Seven players could miss Brentford vs Man Utd after Ruben Amorim drops injury update

Manchester United will be without some key personnel for their clash with Brentford. However, Keith Andrews' side has issues of their own as they host the Red Devils in the Premier League.

United boss Ruben Amorim is gearing up his squad for a trip to the Gtech Community Stadium for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. The Red Devils, fresh from a victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford last weekend, are keen to secure all three points on the road.

However, United will be missing several squad members for the face-off with Brentford. Among those ruled out is Amad, who has been granted compassionate leave following a family bereavement.

"Amad is not here, someone in his family passed away and we are giving all the support to him.

"For Amad, we are here for him, it's a tough moment. In these kind of moments it's not the most important thing [football]. We can win without Amad, but also we want to win for Amad."

In addition to the Ivorian, United will also be without Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez due to injuries.

Casemiro is also out of the squad as he serves a one-match ban following his red card in the win over Chelsea.

Brentford, too, are likely to have some key players missing from their line-up. Reiss Nelson's participation is uncertain after he fell ill in the days leading up to the clash against United.

Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma are set to be sidelined due to injuries, with the pair yet to make their debut this season.

Ahead of the visit from United, the Bees boss said: "They've got a very talented set of players. They have a very defined way of playing the game that they know very, very well.

"They've added some quality players; one who left this building to join them, who we're very well aware of!

"They will cause us a lot of problems if we don't do things correctly.

"I watched [the 4-3 win in May] back this week, as well as their other games this season, because the personnel makes a big difference, especially at the top end of the pitch.

"They've added Bryan, [Matheus] Cunha and [Benjamin] Šeško this summer, and we've looked at how they might be different compared to how they were when we played them at the end last season.

"The system might be the same, but the personnel is different."
