Brentford vs Manchester United
Brentford vs Manchester United : After an awful opening 45 minutes, Manchester United emphatically turned the match on its head as the Red Devils produced a prolific second half to down Brentford 3-1.
Three David de Gea saves in the first half earmarked a terribly worrying opening frame, with United consistently carved to shreds by Brentford counter-attacks. A pair of enormous chances off the foot of Matias Jensen left Brentford rueing what could have been a 2-0 lead, but instead were denied by the Spanish goalkeeping star.
As the halftime break provided Man United with some respite, Ralf Rangnick oversaw a full and comprehensive turnaround, as the Red Devils came out for the second half with aplomb, and the opener came just 10 minutes later as young Anthony Elanga stamped the match with his mark.
Goals from Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford put the game comfortably out of sight, and thankfully so as Brentford found a late consolation from Ivan Toney. Despite that, a second half filled with relief will – for the moment, at least – quiet any serious complaints that United fans were shouting from the rooftops just 45 minutes earlier.
