Brentford vs Manchester United Highlights: United sink deeper as Thiago's brace helps Brentford win 3-1

Here’s what the Premier League standings look like after Brentford’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United, with the ‘Bees’ surging past the ‘Red Devils’ to 11th:

90+9′: Ruben Amorim wears a gloomy look at the sidelines as Manchester United sink to yet another defeat in what has been a forgettable start so far to the 2025-26 season, suffering their third loss in six league outings so far.

Things could have been very different had Bruno Fernandes scored the equaliser off a penalty, which might have allowed United to collect at least a point in west London. The missed penalty, instead, was followed by a stoppage-time screamer by Jensen that compounded Ruben Amorim’s misery, with the Portuguese coach facing the sack once again.

46′: Can Brentford hold on to their lead for the next 45 minutes or hold on to their lead? Or will United find an equaliser, possibly even a winner? Stay tuned to find out.

No changes made by either team so far.

Here are the stats from Brentford’s home game against Manchester United, in which the ‘Bees’ are slightly ahead in terms of possession.

45+4′: Four minutes are added to the clock after 45 minutes are up in the match, with Brentford leading Manchester United by a goal by the time the referee blows his whistle to indicate half-time.

It’s been a dramatic first half so far, one that began on a frenetic note in which Thiago fired a brace inside 20 minutes. Benjamin Sesko’s maiden goal for United, however, has given Ruben Amorim hope of walking away with at least one point, possibly even three!

Brentford: Kelleher, Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Hickey, Henderson, Yarmoliuk, Outtara, Damsgaard, Schade, Thiago.

Manchester United: Bayindir, Shaw, Maguire, de Ligt, Dorgu, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dalot, Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko.
