Match Overview: Man United vs Brentford

The interval arrives and Brentford leads 1-0 here at Old Trafford as United are incensed. A relatively non-descript game had panned out to this point with Flekken and Onana only really tested by Garnacho and Norgaard efforts, respectively.

Key Moments

Yet, the drama arrived in the final knockings. Earlier in the match, De Ligt for some reason opted to use his head to tackle Schade's knee and was off the pitch on numerous occasions to get the wound on the top of his skull sealed up. However, as he cleared a late cross from the visitors, it opened up again, and thus he was called off for treatment. Brentford took the corner and Pinnock rose best to head into the top-left corner, and it's fair to suggest that even with De Ligt on the pitch, that goal still goes in.

Concluding Thoughts

Dalot didn't follow the defender's run, and now an offensively blunt United trail with only themselves to blame.
