There were rumours that Erik ten Hag would be dismissed before the international break, but he remains in charge. Manchester United drew with Aston Villa. Could Erik ten Hag's career end after the clash with Brentford?
Manchester United not only drew with the Birmingham club but also failed to score for the third consecutive Premier League match—previously they didn’t beat Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur. The team continue to create plenty of chances, hitting the woodwork against Aston Villa, but their finishing—or what some might call bad luck—has been dreadful, with just 5 goals from 11.12 xG. This is among the worst in the league, alongside Southampton. Match against Aston Villa should have been the last for Erik ten Hag, but André Onana performed brilliantly in that game.
In this matchup, Brentford sit higher in the table, though they are only 11th. The team have won three of their four home fixtures, ranking second in the home table, level with Manchester City on points. Typically, they scored early, this time in the second minute, and netted an impressive five goals against Wolverhampton with 4.25 xG.
Brentford are unbeaten at home this season but have yet to secure points away. Manchester United's situation with home games isn't much better than their away outings, with just one victory, not out of four encounters, but three. In games where they haven't won, they also failed to score. Even if Manchester United manage a win, it will be a hard-fought one.
