Manchester United injury round-up ahead of Brentford clash including Anthony Martial latest

Manchester United nearly have a clean bill of health as they look to bounce back against Brentford this Saturday following their opening day defeat to Brighton.

Erik ten Hag had a disappointing start to life as United manager as he saw his team lose 2-1 thanks to two first-half goals. Cristiano Ronaldo was only deemed fit enough to feature off the substitutes' bench, but the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was not able to salvage something from the match.

Christian Eriksen led the line for the Reds as he played in a false nine position that appeared to have been a tactical gamble gone wrong from Ten Hag. An injury picked up by Anthony Martial in pre-season stopped fans from seeing if he could carry on the goalscoring momentum he found in Thailand and Australia while on tour.
