Brentford vs Manchester United live: Scores and updates from Premier League clash – UK Times

United are a little shellshocked here and they look tp reply quickly, but Sesko’s shot from distance flies harmlessly wide.

GOAL! It’s another for Thiago!

United are undone by another long ball, as Thiago chests it down to Schade. He races into the box and forces Byindir to punch away the cross, but it goes straight to Thiago, who squeezes a low finish under the United ‘keeper!

Arguably a poor initial punch from Bayindir, but Brentford won’t care!

Two good saves in as many minutes from Bayindir!

The first comes a corner as van den Berg heads too close to the ‘keeper and he claws it away.

Moments later, he pulls off an even better stop as the early cross is headed towards the top corner by Collins, and Bayindir does brilliantly to tip it over.

The Bees are on top here!

Nice combinations on the left from United but Sesko’s attempted pass wide to Mbeumo is cut out.

Brentford win another throw-in and it’ll be chucked into the box. It’s another dangerous effort, with Kayode nearly throwing it straight into the net as Bayindir is forced to punch it behind.

Fernandes heads the corner away for now.

United look to respond immediately and Cunha drives towards goal before firing wide from just outside the box.

The Brazilian has picked up some good positions in the pockets already today.

GOAL! What has happened here?

It’s a superb finish whatever happened.

It all starts from a United attack, with the final ball again mis-placed.

Brentford win it on the edge of the box and they lump it long to Thiago, who is immediately clean through as Maguire has misjudged the offside line.

He races through and into the box, and hits a superb half-volley that crashes straight past Bayindir! No chance for the ‘keeper!

There is a VAR check for offside but it’s cleared, and Brentford lead!

Half a chance for United as they win the ball near halfway, and it’s their first meaningful attack.

Cunha threads it through to Sesko, who sees his shot blocked before his lay-off to the Brazilian is mis-placed.

Some early possession for the hosts, and they keep the pressure on as Maguire is forced to clear the ball straight out for a throw.

It’s the first long throw-in of the game. Can the hosts test United with these?

It’s not a bad first effort, but there’s too much on it and it goes straight to Bayindir on his line.

We’re underway at the Gtech! Bryan Mbeumo gets the match started against his old club.

Both sides are getting ready in the tunnel at the Gtech, and we’ll be underway soon here.

An intriguing match awaits, especially as it seems like you never know what you’re going to get with these two.

That’s become obvious with United – who are looking to win consecutive Premier League matches for the first time under Amorim – though it seems the case with Brentford too, with the Bees losing heavily away last week despite putting in an encouraging performance against Chelsea at home a fortnight ago.
