Manchester United head into Monday night’s clash with Brentford with their hopes of earning a place back in the Champions League in tatters.
The Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Chelsea last time out did not do Ralf Rangnick ’s men any favours at all as they attempt to chase down Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. They now come up against another London side in the form of Thomas Frank’s Bees and with just three games of the season remaining, they have to effectively win all of those to even stand a fleeting chance.
After all, United find themselves eight points off of the pace following victories for both the Gunners and Spurs over the weekend. Ironically, it might be a player who could have been strutting his stuff at Old Trafford who may all-but effectively end the Red Devils’ hopes of returning to Europe’s top table - Christian Eriksen.
