Pundit Predictions: Who will start v Brentford?

Saturday 30 March 2024 10:00

Manchester United return to Premier League action this Saturday evening when we face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium and two Reds legends have revealed how they think the game is going to go.

With the international break taking centre stage last weekend, there has been almost a full two weeks to bask in the glory of our sensational Emirates FA Cup comeback against Liverpool at Old Trafford, but now it is back to business in the league for Ten Hag's side.

We've drafted in two icons from former United defences, Wes Brown and Gary Pallister, to tell us how they see events unfolding in the 20:00 GMT kick-off.

Do you want to pit yourself against the legendary pair? You can do so today by submitting your picks via our United Predictions game, to be found in the United App. Your starting XI must be submitted by 18:30 GMT, but you can take until the referee's first whistle at the Gtech to pick your first scorer, final result and Man of the Match.

First, let's see what our pundits have gone for...
