Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot, who suffered an injury while on international duty with Portugal, is now available for selection against Brentford on Saturday, manager Ruben Amorim said.
Dalot's availability is a huge boost for Manchester United who are without Noussair Mazraoui and Amad Diallo for the Premier League clash. Mazraoui is out with a knock while Amad is with his family following an unfortunate development. Someone close to the Ivorian-Brit in the family passed away and the team allowed him to be with the mourning family, he said. Moroccan Mazraoui will not be available before the international break, which starts on October 6, reports claimed.

While Dalot had trained earlier, his availability for the Brentford clash was confirmed by Amorim only on Saturday. He told MUTV ahead of boarding the team bus to leave the training ground that the 26-year-old is match fit and is ready to start.
Casemiro will serve a suspension for getting a red card against Chelsea last week while young goalkeeper Senne Lammens may get to start ahead of Altay Bayindir, reports indicate. Manchester United are eleventh in the Premier League with two wins, two defeats and a draw after five rounds. The team, however, are looking to win back-to-back league matches for the first time this season when they play Brentford. "These types of games we need to be really focused and have that feeling that we need to win every match," Amorim said.
The Bees, meanwhile, may have to play without Reiss Nelson, Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma.
