Brentford boss Frank: We must keep Hojlund quiet for Man Utd trip

Brentford boss Thomas Frank admits they must watch Rasmus Hojlund carefully for tomorrow's trip to Manchester United.

Frank's fellow Dane goes into the game on the back of scoring his first goals for United with a brace in defeat at home to Champions League opponents Galatasaray.

Bees manager Frank said: “He's scoring goals. I know he's not playing for Brentford, but I'm Danish and I'm happy that a Danish player is coming through and doing well.

“I must say, it was an impressive performance for him against Galatasaray, two very good goals. He looks like he's in a very good place.

“But hopefully we can keep him quiet on Saturday! That's the aim."

Frank added: “We need to be aware of not giving him too much space to run into; he's quick and he's good with the timing of his runs.

“We need to see the situations early and try to stop the balls into him - that's definitely a key area for us."
