It’s quiet so far at a rather chilly G-Tech, mostly because Transport For London’s Bank Holiday weekend has closed off east from west, north from south. Still, a small, fervent crowd greeted the Manchester United players like Taylor Swift dismounting from her limo. That’s the power of celebrity, though there’s a fair few unfamiliar faces in the United team. Eight changes from Bilbao, including Altay Bayindir replacing Andre Onana, not even in the squad. Chido Obi starts up front, Tyler Fredricson in defence. Luke Shaw is captain, and starting his second successive Premier League game for the first time since … answers on a postcard. Brentford are tried and trusted with their selection, to follow their defeat of Nottingham Forest. Is it really three years since that statement win – 4-0 – over United at the beginning of the 2022-23 season? That proved no fluke at all.
