Manchester United vs Brentford: What has happened to Manchester United? It’s hard to remember them playing this poorly, slipping further and further with one loss after another. The Red Devils suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat to Brentford on Saturday. Ruben Amorim’s side fell behind early and couldn’t recover.
Brazilian striker Igor Thiago put Brentford ahead with two goals within the first 20 minutes. Although Benjamin Cech pulled a goal back soon after, it was the visitors’ only bright moment.
United’s best chance in the second half came in the 76th minute when Bruno Fernandes was awarded a penalty. However, after a lengthy VAR review, Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher made a spectacular save to keep his team ahead.

Manchester United vs Brentford: Brentford sealed the victory with a stunning late strike from Mathias Jensen. Manchester United left the pitch defeated 3-1. This loss meant that Coach Amorim’s league record now stands at 17 defeats in 33 matches.
For Brentford, this was a turning point after a difficult season at the bottom of the table. The control of Jordan Henderson and Mikael Damsgaard in midfield, combined with Thiago’s clinical finishing, gave the team new confidence.
Amorim made several lineup changes due to injuries and suspensions, bringing back Diogo Dayat, Manuel Ugarte, and Mateus Cunha to the starting eleven, but it wasn’t enough to secure a positive result.
Brentford fans ended the match chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning,” putting even more pressure on Amorim’s already precarious position.
