Man Utd keeper Grant admits Brentford admiration

Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant believes Brentford can be a Premier League surprise-packet this season.

The Londoners are back in the top-flight for the first time since 1947, after catching the eye in the Championship in recent campaigns.

“It's a really good club. A really well-run football club with a clear vision of what they're trying to do," the 38-year-old Grant told manutd.com.

“I've played against them a couple of times in my career obviously, having played at that level, but things have changed immensely since I've played them – different stadium, huge turnover of players.

“They've done unbelievable in terms of how they've managed the squad, losing big players and going again. New staff, so it's a really good club as I say, with a really nice structure and nice feel about it and I'm sure they'll have a good impact on the division."
