Manchester United's Premier League clash with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium next month has been rescheduled.
United, who will be eyeing a return to winning ways when they host Manchester City in Sunday's derby, will now visit the west London outfit on Sunday, May 4, for a 2pm kick-off.

The Premier League clash was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 3, but has now been pushed back as a knock-on effect of Nottingham Forest reaching the FA Cup semi-finals.
Brentford were scheduled to face Forest at the City Ground on Saturday, April 26, but Forest will now face City at Wembley that weekend after a penalty shootout victory over Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday.
The Premier League has rescheduled Forest's clash with the Bees for Thursday, May 1, kick-off 7.30pm, meaning United's clash with Thomas Frank's side has now been impacted. As a result of Brentford playing on the Thursday night, they would not be able to play again less than 48 hours later.
However, United could also find themselves in action on Thursday, May 1, as that date will mark the first legs of the Europa League semi-finals. The Reds are still in the competition, of course, and have the first leg of their quarter-final against Lyon next week.
The Premier League has confirmed the rescheduled clash between Brentford and United will not be televised in the UK. Brighton vs Newcastle United, also kicking-off at 2pm that day, will instead be shown on Sky Sports ahead of Chelsea taking on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge at 4.30pm.
The Premier League has also confirmed the schedule for the following weekend's action, with United's clash with West Ham United so far unchanged. It means they are currently scheduled to go head-to-head at Old Trafford on Saturday, May 10, kicking-off at the traditional time of 3pm.
However, the visit of the Hammers will have to be pushed back in the event of United beating Lyon and reaching the Europa League semi-finals, with the second legs penciled in to take place on Thursday, May 8.
