Brentford v Man United: Amorim’s Premier League woes worsen | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim once again saw his team lose in the Premier League, by 3-1, in the Brentford - Manchester United match. The Portuguese coach returned to losses in the English championship, after having triumphed against Chelsea, in the previous round - the nightmare continues for the former Benfica player.

Firstly, it's worth noting the absence of players who have been part of Benfica's squad in the Brentford - Manchester United match. Of all the participants in the Premier League match, only Ruben Amorim was part of the Club da Luz, as a player.

Regarding the match, it started in the worst way for Ruben Amorim's pupils. Brentford took the lead eight minutes into the game, with a goal from Igor Thiago. The Brazilian forward would score again at the 20', doubling the home team's advantage. Manchester United managed to react, and reached 2-1 before half-time, thanks to Benjamin Sesko.

In the second half, Ruben Amorim dared to dream of a positive result. This is because, at the 76', when the game was 2-1, Manchester United benefited from a penalty, due to a foul on Bryan Mbeumo - Bruno Fernandes allowed the opposing goalkeeper to save, and the scoreboard remained unchanged. It only moved again very close to the end, when Brentford sealed the victory, at 90+5', with the 3-1, by Jensen.

With this defeat, Manchester United maintains the seven points it had from the fifth round, but drops to the 13th position in the league table. Brentford, on the other hand, matches the red devils in terms of points, and is parked in the 12th place of the Premier League.
