Man Utd player ratings vs Brentford: One 2/10 and two 3s but star scores 8 in thriller
Manchester United tasted their 16th Premier League defeat of the season at Brentford on Sunday after Ruben Amorim named the club’s youngest-ever team in the competition. Mason Mount broke the deadlock, but the visitors staged a damaging collapse to fall 4-1 behind after 74 minutes. Alejandro Garnacho’s stunner and Amad’s stoppage-time strike teased a late comeback but proved to be consolation contributions.
Amorim made eight tweaks to the team that beat Athletic Club 3-0 on Thursday, prioritising the Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford in four days. But he will be sweating over the fitness of Matthijs de Ligt, who went down injured in the build-up to Brentford’s go-ahead goal and limped off moments later.
