Manchester United had to accept a 1-1 draw with Brentford in the Premier League tonight, following a subpar performance at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Following an exhilarating 4-3 victory against Liverpool in the FA Cup prior to the international break, United aimed to carry that positive momentum into this encounter. However, their aspirations of qualifying for the Champions League suffered another setback when they only managed to secure a draw, resulting in two lost points.
United allowed a significant number of scoring opportunities, while Brentford shown inefficiency in converting those chances into goals. The visitors believed they had secured a 1-0 victory when Mason Mount, in his debut goal for the club, scored during additional time after being substituted. However, United’s happiness was short-lived as Kristoffer Ajer quickly equalized for the Bees.
It signaled the conclusion of a humbling evening for United, as they were outperformed for extended stretches of time.

Ten Hag’s statement
The manager of the United team has also had a conversation with Sky Sports. He acknowledged that his team performed poorly, but believed that they should have emerged victorious:
“If you are experiencing success, it is unwise to relinquish it.” Typically, we possess a formidable team in such circumstances. However, we must successfully complete the task, and it is disheartening that we have not been able to do so.
“Our actions should have been executed in a different manner during that time.”
