"United showed some only promising signs going forward but were caught cold by Thiago, who managed to stay onside as Harry Maguire stepped up while playing a very high defensive line and latched onto Jordan Henderson's long ball forward before lashing a vicious effort beyond Altay Bayindir and into the top-left corner. Brentford piled the pressure on thereafter, with Bayindir required to keep out close-range headers from both Henderson and Nathan Collins after Matheus Cunha had fired wide at the other end."
"Yet there was nothing Bayindir could do as Thiago doubled his tally, turning home after the United goalkeeper had turned Kevin Schade's low cross from the left into his path. United, though, found a way back into the contest through Sesko, who pounced on Patrick Dorgu's high ball into the box and converted at the third time of asking following successive saves from Caoimhin Kelleher."
"They looked primed to level when they were awarded a 71st-minute penalty. However, his 12-yard effort was tame and easily saved, and substitute Mathias Jensen's sublime strike from the edge of the area in stoppage time made sure of the points for the Bees. Any positive momentum from their 2-1 win over Chelsea extinguished, United drop to 13th in the table, with Brentford moving above them into 11th."
Brentford defeated Manchester United 3-1 at home, with Igor Thiago scoring twice inside 20 minutes to put Brentford in control. Benjamin Sesko pulled a goal back for United in the 26th minute after capitalizing on a high ball into the box. United were awarded a 71st-minute penalty, but Bruno Fernandes struck the 12-yard effort tamely and the goalkeeper saved. Mathias Jensen scored a stoppage-time strike from the edge of the area to confirm the victory. Bryan Mbeumo returned to west London as a Manchester United player, and United fell to 13th while Brentford rose to 11th.
