Manchester United will desperately hope to get back to winning ways against Brentford in the Premier League tonight.
The sorry Red Devils have won just two of their last 11 games across all competitions, a dismal run which continued with a fortunate draw at home to Chelsea on Thursday night.
Cristiano Ronaldo saved United a point to keep their faint hopes of a top-four finish alive, although fighting West Ham for a spot in the Europa League appears to be of bigger concern.
Those Champions League hopes have surely now been extinguished after Arsenal and Tottenham both won on Sunday, leaving Ralf Rangnick’s side eight points adrift of fourth place, having played a game more than their rivals. They are three points ahead of seventh-placed West Ham, meanwhile.
Brentford held Tottenham last time out and could not be blamed for being disappointed with the goalless draw, as it ended a three-game winning run which featured victories over Chelsea and West Ham.
