Brentford are on a 4-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, increasing their chances of finishing in the top half of the rankings and even winning a place in the European Cup next season.
The most recent victory over Nottingham Forest took coach Thomas Frank and his team to 11th place in the rankings, only 2 points behind Fulham in 8th place.
The West London side need to make the most of their remaining home games if they are to achieve this goal. The Bees have scored 34 goals in 17 matches at Gtech Community Stadium. Only Liverpool (39), Man City (39) and Newcastle (38) have better results than Brentford.
The big contributors to this statistic are the duo Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo when they scored a total of 35 goals in the Premier League.
On the other side, Man United will probably end the season with the worst ranking since returning to the British tournament in the 1970s. Ruben Amorim's teachers and students only rely on the Europa League, after putting one foot in the final thanks to the 3-0 victory over Bilbao in the semi-finals of the first leg.
Back in the Premier League, Man United are on a 5-match winless streak. They are stuck in 14th place, just 3 points ahead of West Ham in 17th place.
In terms of away results, the Red Devils are only 14th this season, scoring 18 goals in 17 matches. Only Everton (12), bottom-placed Southampton (23) and Leicester (16) have scored fewer away goals than Man United.
Force situation
Brentford received good news when Aaron Hickey and Igor Thiago have both returned to training after a long absence due to injury. However, midfielder Vitaly Janelt will miss the rest of the season due to a heel problem. Fabio Carvalho is also out with a shoulder injury.
Coach Amorim will likely give some key players a break.
In addition, Diogo Dalot (pat), Joshua Zirkzee (hamstring) and Lisandro Martinez (knee) are all unable to play due to injury.
Expected lineup
Brentford: Flekken; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Henry; Norgaard, Yarmolyuk; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa
Manchester United: Onana; Fredricson, De Ligt, Shaw; Kamason, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass; Mainoo, Mount Obi;
