Brentford vs Manchester United - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Matheus Cunha returns for Red Devils and Ruben Amorim snubs Kobbie Mainoo again despite Casemiro's ban

Is today the day we finally see the best of Benjamin Sesko?

The £74m man is taking his time to get used to the Premier League, it has to be said. Personally, I can't think of a memorable moment he has produced yet.

But it's still early days and the lad will get better as time goes on, well, Manchester United fans will be hoping so.

He is yet to score for the Red Devils, but I have a cheeky feeling that may change today.

With both Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha on either side of him, he should get plenty of opportunities fashioned for him.

Can Sesko take them when they are created?

Ruben Amorim, Man United manager, on TNT Sports:

Keith Andrews, Brentford boss, on TNT Sports:

Manchester United are not fans of life on the road.

If the football club were a music band, then their tour bus would break down between every stadium they played at. Niche, I know, but bear with me.

United's recent away record is just dreadful, truly dreadful.

Ruben Amorim's side are winless in their last seven away Premier League matches (D2 L5) since a 3-0 win at Leicester in March.

The Red Devils last had a longer run without an away win between March and October 2019 (eight games).

Can they end that run today?

Chris Sutton, former Chelsea striker, on BBC Sport:

If I were a Brentford fan, I'd be making my way to the Getch with a little skip in my step.

Why? Well, the last few times they have watched Manchester United come to town, things have gone rather well for them.

Brentford have won two of their last three home Premier League games against United - drawing the other - as many as their first six home league matches versus the Red Devils beforehand (W2 D1 L3).

After their 4-3 defeat in May, Manchester United could lose back-to-back league meetings with Brentford for only the third time, after previously doing so in the second tier in December 1934 and top-flight in February 1937.

All signs point toward a belter.

I'm sure by now that many of you have seen that there is a Manchester United fan who is not cutting his hair until the team wins five games in a row. Yep, it's crazy.

He is over 350 days in and has a huge afro because of how bad United have been over the past year, poor lad. Although he does pull the trim off.

United haven't even got close to winning five games on the spin, but that could soon change.

By beating Chelsea last week, they are on a one-match winning run, can you believe it? A fifth of the way there.

Win today, and that's another step closer to the trim being chopped.

Oh yeah, they're back, baby!

Squawka stat packs were a big part of our pre-match build-ups last season, and today they make their return. You love to see it.

Based on last season's data, I think what stands out is just how many goals both teams conceded.

If their defences a rubbish again today, then we may just see goals flying in all about the place.

As a neutral, I would love that.

Alan Shearer, former Newcastle striker, speaking to Betfair:

I saw these pictures and just had to put them in this blog.

Look at Bryan Mbeumo, he is so happy to be back at a place that helped build his career to what it is today. He has so many cherished memories at the Gtech.

It's fair to say that those he spent many years with at Brentford are happy to see him back. Just look at those hugs.

It will be interesting to see if the crowd gives him the same reception.

Was it ever in any doubt?

Bryan Mbeumo does indeed start against his former side as Ruben Amorim makes three changes to the side that drew with Chelsea.

Matheus Cunha is one of the trio to come in, and I'm sure United fans are happy to see him back.

Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot also come in.

There is some big team news coming out of Brentford.

Aaron Hickey's name is in the Bees starting line-up for the first time in 700 days. Yep, you are reading that right.

Meanwhile, Igor Thiago leads the line for Keith Andrews' side, while Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade sit either side of him.

Can this team do some damage to United?

'Guess who's back, back again?'

You know the song, now sing it!

Why am I reciting lyrics from Eminem's track Without Me? Well, it's because a certain Bryan Mbeumo is returning to his former home today.

Just a few short months ago, Mbeumo was banging the goals in for Brentford, but now he returns looking to rip them apart in his new colours.

I'm assuming he will start - it would be weird if he doesn't - and I have a sneaky suspicion he may bag a brace today...

Do you think Mbeumo will hurt his old side?

You know that I said we are in for a cracking day? Well, I meant it.

This is one of the most stacked Saturdays I have seen in recent years. There are games all day long.

Here is the schedule:

Are you ready for things to get a little spicy?

When Bees and Red Devils come together, they make hot honey... well, at least that is what my colleague said to me when we were thinking of a creative way to open this blog.

Not the best opening, I know, but we were trying our best.

We are in store for a cracking day, though, and I, for one, am buzzing - if you'll pardon the pun - for a full day of action.

Brentford and Manchester United kick off the day at the Gtech Community Stadium, and if this fixture is anything like the games that have preceded it in recent years, we are in for a fun afternoon.

So, shall we just get this show on the road then? I think we shall.
