Brentford 1-3 Manchester United

at Brentford Community Stadium


AFTER an eventful week on and off the pitch, Ralf Rangnick brought his troops down to the Brentford Community Stadium to take on a team looking to bounce back from two defeats in their last two games.

But despite Brentford creating enough clear cut chances to put the game out of sight during an impressive but frustrating first half for the home side, Manchester United were able to turn the tide in the second half with three goals to see off the home side in a 3-1 victory.

It was Thomas Frank’s team who went into the break the more disappointed, having not been able to capitalise on a plethora of first-half chances.
