Manchester United face Brentford missing four key players amid uncertain form

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has expressed uncertainty about the team's consistency and readiness ahead of their Premier League match against Brentford, highlighting ongoing challenges in defense and midfield coordination. Amorim confirmed that four key players—Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Noussair Mazraoui, and Lisandro Martinez—will miss the match due to compassionate leave, suspension, and injuries respectively, with Amad absent following a family bereavement. The team aims to win back-to-back league games for the first time under Amorim, who emphasized treating every game as if it were the last to instill urgency. Despite the challenges, Amorim praised the spirit of players like Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) and key Manchester United figures such as Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, who are expected to influence the game's outcome. Manchester United currently sits 11th in the league, while Brentford is 17th, setting the stage for a competitive encounter. Amorim also acknowledged the emotional impact of Amad's situation on the squad, expressing the team's desire to secure a victory in his honor.
