Erik ten Hag is ready to use Jonny Evans as a left-back against Brentford

According to The Mirror, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could decide to use Jonny Evans as a left-back when they face Brentford.

The Red Devils will be without a number of defenders for their match against Thomas Frank’s Brentford side.

Left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are still out with fitness issues while Noussair Mazraoui and Harry Maguire have joined Leny Yoro on the sidelines.

Erik ten Hag will be without five defenders for the club’s next match against the Eagles and the Dutch manager is ready to make the big call of playing Evans in the left-back position.

Ten Hag is not a popular figure in the dressing room at the moment with the players not happy with his decision to take off Marcus Rashford against Porto in the Europa League.

Not only among the players but also among the fans, Ten Hag is facing a difficult time at the moment.

Man United are currently 14th in the league and they desperately need results to go their way or it could cost Ten Hag his job at Old Trafford.

They are falling behind in the race for the top four every week and a bad result against Brentford could increase pressure on the players and the manager.
