Reason why these three (3) Manchester United players Harry Maguire Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro and were on the bench during Brentford vs Man United Draw match

This was the Man United team that played Brentford:

Erik ten Hag said that Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, and Harry Maguire could not play today against Brentford because they had not fully trained for the game.

Ten Hag didn’t change United’s lineup from the 4-3 FA Cup win over Liverpool two weeks ago for their game against Brentford. All three of the senior players who came back from injuries in the last week were on the bench. Kobbie Mainoo was cleared to play even though he missed some training during the week because he was sick.

Martínez, Casemiro, and Maguire need to find their rhythm before they can start for United, Ten Hag told MUTV before the game.

“They are back from injuries, but they aren’t quite back in the swing of things yet. They need game practice and they need to catch up in training as well,” he said. But we have guys who can play in the back and the middle of the field. I would say it’s a little thin in the front.

About Mainoo, he said, “He’s done great for England, but now we have to go back to club football, which is something he’s never done before.” It’s about the team, but he’s a good player who gives us something extra.

The last time United played at the Gtech Community Stadium was in August 2022, when they lost 4-0 in Ten Hag’s second game as manager.

They are in pretty good shape going into the game, even though they haven’t played since beating Liverpool two weeks ago because of the March international break.
