Manchester United have not won back-to-back Premier League matches since May 2024, with the club looking win against Brentford after their 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
Ruben Amorim will be without several key players, with Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui set to miss the match.
Amorim has admitted he doesn't know how his squad will perform every week, but the boss believes the match against Brentford will be a key match.
What did Amorim say ahead of the weekend's match?

"To be completely honest, I have an idea, but I don't know how it's going to be and I'm the manager of the team. That has to do with the moment that we live for so many months.
"The best way of dealing with that is that every game is the last one. It's just not thinking about two games. Yes, it's a big deal for Manchester United."
Amorim has been pleased with the team's performances, but the results have been scattered.
He continued, "The next game is going to be the most important game for a long time for Manchester United.
"I understand the feeling of the fans. Let's start changing that feeling and present ourselves with that urgency that we need to do on the pitch.
"It's really important [that Man Utd win back-to-back games], I think that, and we spoke about that in the end of the game. It's really important for us to have that sense of urgency that we need to win no matter what, and it's going to be really difficult.

"Every time we start preparing the game and you watch the next opponent, you think is going to be really tough. I have that feeling.
"But for me, we cannot control the result of the game. The most important thing is to start the game the way we start against Chelsea, the way we start against Burnley, the way we start against Arsenal.
"In these kinds of games, we need to be willing and to have the feeling that we need to win every match."
