IGOR FEST FOR RUBEN

Early goals put United on back foot

- 

IGOR THIAGO'S double strike early on left Manchester United reeling as they suffered a pummelling from Brentford.

The Brazilian piled more pressure on Old Trafford boss Ruben Amorim with two goals inside the opening 20 minutes, before United were handed a lifeline by Benjamin Sesko's first goal since his £73million move from RB Leipzig.

But substitute Mathias Jensen sealed matters in the fifth of eight minutes of stoppage time, after Bruno Fernandes had wasted a golden chance to equalise from the penalty spot.

Bryan Mbeumo, back at Brentford after ending a six-year stay with the Bees in the summer, was dragged down by Nathan Collins in front of goal.
