Manchester United are back in Premier League action on Saturday when they travel south to take on a Brentford side badly in need of a win.

The Red Devils were last in action before the March international break when they dramatically beat Liverpool 4-3 in a morale-boosting FA Cup quarter-final victory.

With some important players making their way back from injury, there's scope for a strong end to the season at Old Trafford.

Here's the Man Utd lineup Ten Hag may choose against Brentford.

GK: Andre Onana - The Cameroonian is having a very strong debut Premier League season but his poor performances in the Champions League have not quite been forgotten. Either way, Man Utd look like they have their long-term David de Gea replacement.

RB: Diogo Dalot - One of Man Utd's best players this season, Dalot should get another start on his favoured flank. Recent reports have suggested the Red Devils are in the market for a new right-back but Dalot will want to fight for his place.

CB: Raphael Varane - The Frenchman rightly has a reputation for being injury-prone but has been one of Man Utd's most consistent defenders this season. He is set to start again with the likes of Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans struggling.

CB: Victor Lindelof - Lindelof has been linked with a move away from the club recently but remains a solid rotational option. The Swede has played a lot considering the aforementioned injuries to various defenders.

LB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - The former Crystal Palace defender returned against Liverpool and was surprisingly used on the left. This may have been specifically to combat the one-on-one threat of Mohamed Salah but Ten Hag could deploy him on the left again.

CM: Kobbie Mainoo - England duty was just another milestone Mainoo has taken in his stride during his breakout campaign. He's a guaranteed starter against Brentford and looks to be playing himself into Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad.

CM: Scott McTominay - There's a good chance Casemiro won't be fit enough to play, so McTominay is expected to take his place. The Scot netted two stoppage-time goals at Old Trafford when the teams last met to give Man Utd a dramatic 2-1 win.

RW: Alejandro Garnacho - While he didn't score against Liverpool, Garnacho worked harder than anyone else. He made his first senior start for Argentina during the international break, another milestone in what has been a great season for the winger.

AM: Bruno Fernandes - A source told recently the Manchester Evening News Fernandes has the highest pain threshold of anyone they've seen. The Portuguese midfielder scored in a 5-2 win over Sweden before heading back to Manchester early.

LW: Marcus Rashford - While still likely to go, Rashford isn't be guaranteed a place in England's Euro 2024 squad based on this season. He has to step up in the final ten games to impress Three Lions boss Southgate.

ST: Rasmus Hojlund - He may not have looked too dangerous against Liverpool, but Hojlund's return meant Man Utd looked significantly more balanced and fluid in attack. He got some more minutes in the legs for Denmark and should be sharp against Brentford.
