Anthony Martial did not start for Manchester United against Brentford as he is still not "game-fit", according to manager Erik ten Hag.
Martial made his first United appearance in 78 days as a second-half substitute in the 2-0 defeat at Newcastle on Sunday and he was widely expected to replace Wout Weghorst up front against Brentford.
Weghorst was dropped after 19 successive starts but Ten Hag replaced him with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford moved to the centre forward role. Rashford scored the only goal of the game against Brentford and Martial emerged in the 70th minute.
