Manchester United are preparing to sharpen up their shooting boots for the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon (3.30pm). Following a tricky start to the season, Erik ten Hag and his team have now won three straight games in all competitions heading into that cross-city showdown.

After falling to a 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace in the league, United sacrificed a 2-1 lead to lose 3-2 at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday. The loss left United bottom of Group A, having lost both of their games.
Erik ten Hag's side will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Brentford on Saturday, with the Bees struggling for form themselves. The last meeting between the two ended in a 1-0 win for United, whilst the reverse fixture saw Brentford hand United a humiliating 4-0 loss.
