Manchester United could be missing as many as 10 players for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford at Old Trafford.

Manchester United could be missing as many as 10 players for Saturday's clash against Brentford at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have made their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, picking up just eight points from their opening seven matches, which has left them down in 14th spot in the Premier League table.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Erik ten Hag has kept his job as Man United head coach, and the Dutchman will lead the 20-time English champions into this weekend's match in Manchester.

However, Ten Hag could be without the services of as many as 10 players, with a number of first-team stars needing to be assessed before it is determined whether they can feature on Saturday.

Defenders Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire are definitely out through injury, while it is highly unlikely that Luke Shaw will be available, with the left-back still battling to overcome a calf injury.

Noussair Mazraoui is also currently unavailable, as the Morocco international has undergone a minor heart procedure, and he will not be back on the field for the Red Devils until November.

Mainoo, Garnacho need to be assessed ahead of Brentford clash

Manuel Ugarte has handed the Red Devils a fresh concern, as he limped off the field in Uruguay's 0-0 draw with Ecuador on Tuesday night, with the midfielder set to be assessed at Carrington on Thursday.

Amad Diallo was forced to withdraw from the Ivory Coast squad for his country's October matches due to an illness, and providing that it is not a long-term problem, he should be available this weekend.

However, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho will need to be assessed, with the pair withdrawing from the England and Argentina squads respectively during the October break.

Mainoo has recently been carrying a muscular problem, which saw him miss out against Porto in the Europa League, while Garnacho has been nursing a knee complaint over the last couple of weeks.

Mason Mount has been out due to a head injury and a knock, with the Englishman sitting out the matches with Porto and Aston Villa, and it remains to be seen whether he will be available on Saturday.

Head coach Ten Hag will address the media later this week, where an update on his squad will be provided, but Man United have a whole host of concerns leading into the vital clash with Brentford.
