Man Utd boss Ten Hag expects tough Brentford test

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag knows his team face a battle on Saturday.

The Red Devils go to Brentford, where they infamously lost 4-0 at the start of last season.

Ten Hag knows his team are vastly different from that day, but admits they must be nothing less than 100 percent to get a result.

He told reporters: "It was a wonderful break. It is always good to go with a win into an international break, but definitely such a win.

“Then the players go to international duties in other teams and playing styles and systems and now they return and they have to get back where we were. In our way of play, get them back in our team.

“Yesterday we started this process. It is a short slot and we have to be ready but we will be ready."

On the fitness of Luke Shaw, he added: "Yes, I expect him back before the end of the season, that is the plan and he is still on schedule for this. He will return into our team."
