Erik ten Hag looking for rapid-fire improvements

Debate about Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford continues to rage following a difficult start to the season for the Red Devils, who at least steadied the ship somewhat in their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa before the international break.

Losing to Brentford at home would no doubt pile even more pressure on the Dutchman and the Bees are certainly no pushovers.

Thomas Frank’s side smashed Wolves 5-3 earlier this month and they sit two points above the Red Devils heading into the weekend.
