Man United vs. Brentford Prop Picks
Bruno Fernandes is within two of the Premier League record for assists. The Portuguese has been in excellent recent form, recording four assists in his last three appearances for club and country. Therefore, at +200, he is once again an outstanding play to add to his haul on Monday.
Man United vs. Brentford Picks
Manchester United have struggled on Mondays this season, losing against Leeds and Everton at Old Trafford. However, with the Champions League spot within touching distance, we fully expect the Red Devils to record successive wins to close in on a top-five place.
