MANCHESTER United striker Benjamin Sesko has claimed he would swap his first goal for the club for three points following Saturday's 3-1 Premier League defeat to Brentford.

- By JOSH HOLLAN

Ruben Amorim and his players suffered another miserable afternoon at the Gtech Community Stadium. Igor Thiago scored an early brace to put the Bees ahead, but Sesko halved the deficit.

Bruno Fernandes then squandered the opportunity to level from the penalty spot before Mathias Jensen made it 3-1 to leave United 14th in the Premier League table.
