Manchester United XI vs Brentford: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League

No Amad Diallo, Casemiro or Noussair Mazraoui as Red Devils look to build on win over Chelsea

Manchester United will be without the suspended Casemiro when they face Brentford in the lunchtime kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Casemiro is banned after his two yellow cards against Chelsea last weekend, with Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo vying to come into the team in his place.

United will also be without Amad Diallo due to a family bereavement.

“Amad is not here,” head coach Amorim told reporters on Friday. “Someone in his family passed away, so we are giving all the support to Amad. We understood that it was important for him to have his time and to return home.”

He added: “We can win without Amad and we want to win also for Amad.”

Amad’s place in attack should go to summer signing Matheus Cunha, who returned from a hamstring injury off the bench last time out.

Amorim further revealed that Noussair Mazraoui will not be available for United until after the October international break due to a knock, meaning he will also miss out against Sunderland next weekend.

Lisandro Martinez continues to make progress in his recovery from a long-term knee injury, but is not yet ready to be considered.

There was some good news at Carrington this week when full-back Diogo Dalot resumed training following a muscle problem suffered while away on international duty with the Portugal Under-21s earlier this month.

“Licha (Martinez) is out, Casemiro is out because of the red card,” Amorim said.

"(Mazraoui) is not going to be (available) until we stop for the national team, so he's out also. The rest are fit and ready to play."

Amorim will presumably want to keep changes to a minimum after that much-needed win over Chelsea, but if fit enough then Dalot will likely need to come straight in with no Mazraoui.

Predicted Manchester United XI (3-4-2-1): Bayindir; De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko

Injured: Martinez, Mazraoui

Suspended: Casemiro

Unavailable: Amad
