    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The Mirror have now reported that Ten Hag is set to place Evans at left-back for the clash against Thomas Frank’s Brentford. As such, Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt will start in the centre-back positions and Diogo Dalot will slot in at right-back.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    For Manchester United, left-backs Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw, will not be available alongside centre-backs Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro for the Brentford clash due to injuries. Additionally, right-back Noussair Mazraoui has also been ruled out from action at least until November due to a minor cardiac operation.

    WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?

    Ten Hag’s underperforming side will host Brentford at Old Trafford on Sunday, October 20 as they will look to get their third Premier League win of the season.
