Manchester United take on Brentford after the international break, looking to push up the Premier League table.

A pretty perfect weekend played out for Manchester United, with a dramatic FA Cup quarter-final win over Liverpool.

In the Premier League, Tottenham lost against Fulham, while Aston Villa could only draw at West Ham, opening the door for Manchester United to kick on and clinch a Champions League place.

Amad was Manchester United’s matchwinner at Old Trafford, before being sent off. He will be suspended for the next Premier League game against Brentford.

Sergio Reguilon will not face Manchester United

Manchester United’s injury problems at left-back were temporarily solved by Sergio Reguilon earlier in the season.

Reguilon was signed on loan from Tottenham, but United decided in January to send him back, and not extend the initial agreement.

This has proved an error with hindsight, as Luke Shaw has picked up another injury and Tyrell Malacia is still not fit. Some would say this was highly predictable.

Reguilon ended up signing for Brentford instead – but he will not face Manchester United in the next Premier League game.

This is because the former United loanee got sent off in Brentford’s 2-1 defeat to Burnley at the weekend.

Reguilon must serve a suspension and will not be able to play against United. If not for the red card, he would have been eligible to face the Red Devils.

Reguilon has made no secret of United admiration

While his loan at Manchester United was not extended, Sergio Reguilon’s fondness of the Red Devils remains.

He has regularly been posting on social media in support of Manchester United and his former teammates.

During the recent Manchester derby he was posting his support for the Red Devils, and earlier showed his support for Lisandro Martinez.

Despite all this, Reguilon could have approached Brentford’s game with United with a real point to prove. Nobody would have been surprised to see him score a winner.

So his red card has done United a big favour, removing that awkward possibility. He will be watching from the sidelines – but who he will be supporting is open to interpretation.
