Manchester United faced yet another disappointing away match, suffering a heavy defeat against Brentford. Coach Ruben Amorim opted for a heavily rotated squad, making eight changes following a strong midweek performance. While Mason Mount opened the scoring, the game quickly turned sour as Luke Shaw scored an own goal, followed by two goals from Kevin Schade, sealing United's fate. Despite some late consolation goals, the defeat highlighted United's ongoing struggles, as they have won only three of their last 16 away games in the Premier League.
Mason Mount's opener was a lovely moment for a player who has struggled horribly with injuries but it was all downhill from there.
Brentford showed just how thin the United squad is with a ruthless display that maintains their outside chance of claiming a place in Europe.
Captain-for-the-day Luke Shaw put through his own goal for the equaliser with a brace from Kevin Schade and another goal for Yoane Wissa putting Brentford firmly in control.
Unfortunately for the Portuguese, it was an audition they failed with Brentford...a display that maintains their outside chance of claiming a place in Europe.
