Brentford vs Manchester United Football Match Stats & Results Saturday, 27 September, 2025 6:30
The Premier League returns with an intriguing lunchtime clash at the Gtech Community Stadium, where Brentford welcome Manchester United on Saturday, 27 September 2025. Kick-off is at 12:30 pm BST, and this fixture pits a Bees side desperate for home points against a Red Devils team showing signs of resurgence under Ruben Amorim. Brentford sit 17th in the table after a mixed start, while United occupy 11th following a gritty 2-1 win over Chelsea last weekend. With both teams leaky at the back but potent in attack, expect goals—and plenty of drama.
Team News and Recent Form
Brentford: The Bees are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Fulham on 20 September, their third loss in five league games this season. Despite generating chances, they've struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals already. Thomas Frank's men have been winless in their last three away outings but boast a formidable home record, unbeaten in their last five at the Gtech. Key absences include long-term injuries to Josh Da Silva and Rico Henry, but Bryan Mbeumo (two goals) and new signing Kevin Schade could lead the line. Frank may opt for a high-pressing 4-3-3 to exploit United's transitional vulnerabilities.
Manchester United: Amorim's side earned a morale-boosting victory against Chelsea on 20 September, with Bruno Fernandes netting his 100th United goal in his 200th Premier League appearance. However, their form has been patchy: just one win in the last five across all competitions, including a shock Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town on penalties. Away from Old Trafford, United have drawn at Fulham and lost at Manchester City, but their second-half resilience shines through. Injuries to Lisandro Martinez and doubts over Mason Mount (who has scored on his last two visits to Brentford) could test depth, but Fernandes and Matheus Cunha provide firepower. Expect a 3-4-2-1 setup to control possession.
Head-to-Head Trends
History favors the visitors, but Brentford have made it uncomfortable for United in recent years. In eight meetings, Manchester United lead with five wins to Brentford's two, plus one draw. The last encounter ended 3-1 to United, but the Bees stunned them 4-0 at this venue in 2022. Matches average 3.38 goals, with both teams scoring in 63% of clashes.
