Manchester United are back in action when they host Brentford on Saturday. Erik ten Hag's side have made a dismal start to the season, winning just three of their opening 10 matches across all competitions.

United started the campaign with a 1-0 win at home to Fulham but followed that up with back-to-back defeats against Brighton and Liverpool. Successive victories over Southampton and Barnsley restored the feel-good factor, but United have since failed to win any of their last five matches.

Meanwhile, Brentford have made a mixed start to the season. They have picked up 10 points from their opening seven matches and beat Wolves 5-3 last time out. The Bees have also defeated Crystal Palace and Southampton, with their other point coming against West Ham in a 1-1 draw.

With some kind-looking fixtures on the horizon, United will be keen to get their season going with some victories on the board. So, that being said, football.london has looked at United's upcoming matches and how they compare to their rivals.

Manchester United's next five fixtures

Brentford (H) - October 19

Fenerbahce (A) - October 24

West Ham (A) - October 27

Leicester (H) - October 30

Chelsea (H) - November 3

MEN says: It's cliche to suggest there are no easy games in football, but it's safe to say that United will fancy their chances to win all of their next four matches. Based on their current form, United might struggle to win one, but with the players they have got, there is no reason why they can't go on a run. Chelsea at home at the end of that run could prove to be more challenging, but stranger things have happened.
