United squad warning
Erik ten Hag has warned Manchester United players they are "in the wrong place" if they lack the requisite hunger at the club.
United have won four of their seven matches since they ended a trophy drought that had strayed close to six years with the League Cup, in February, however they were annihilated 7-0 by Liverpool last month and their performance in the 2-0 defeat at Newcastle on Sunday was widely considered to be worse.

Anthony Martial admission
Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United have a better chance of returning to winning ways with Anthony Martial available again.
Martial made his first appearance in 78 days as a second half substitute in United's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle on Sunday and the Frenchman is poised to start against Brentford.
The striker could replace Wout Weghorst on Wednesday night as the Duitchman has managed a dismal two goals in 19 starts and is yet to register in the league.
Martial, 27, has only played in 15 of United's 47 matches this season and he has not completed 90 minutes in the Premier League since January 2021.
