sportsmole.co.uk, 27 March 2024, 10:15
Manchester United will be bidding to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they head to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday night.

The Red Devils entered the international break off the back of a 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, while they beat Everton 2-0 in their last league match on March 9.

Erik ten Hag's side sit six points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and nine from fourth-placed Aston Villa in the Premier League table, demonstrating the importance of putting together a run of victories in England's top flight.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Brentford, who are currently 15th in the division.

Harry Maguire

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unknown

Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Brentford)

Maguire made his return from injury off the bench against Liverpool in the FA Cup before linking up with England, but he pulled out of the squad ahead of the Belgium match, and the centre-back is a major doubt for this weekend's clash with Brentford.

Tyrell Malacia

Status: Out

Malacia is in individual training, as he bids to recover from a knee injury which has required two separate operations, but the Dutchman is likely to miss the rest of the campaign.

Lisandro Martinez

Status: Minor doubt

Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Brentford)

Martinez has been out since the start of February due to the knee injury which he suffered against West Ham United, but the centre-back linked up with the Argentina squad over the international break to step up his recovery, and he has a strong chance of being back in the squad for this match.

Anthony Martial
