We controlled the game, insists on Ruben Amorim after Manchester United acknowledges four in Brentford

Ruben Amorim claimed that his side Manchester United “controlled the game” Brentford despite a 4-3 defeat This looked closer than it was after two late goal visitors.

Amorim made eight changes to the side that won 3-0 in the middle of the week in Athletic Bilbao, while making it clear where his priorities were in the coming weeks. The young men Tyler Fredricson and Harry Amass were included as the Chido Obi striker, who, at just 17 years and 156 days, became the youngest player to ever start the Premier League match for Manchester United.

Only Patrick Dorga, Manuel Ugarta and Alejandro Garnacho retained their places, and United’s makeshift Xi fought with Kevin Schade, reaching twice, because Brentford went into a 4-1 lead with eight minutes.

Garnacho and Amad Diallo reduced the backlogs, but a little did not cover her with the shortcomings of another false view from United.

Optimistic amorim encouraged by the young men

Despite the defeat, he was exciting after that. Said the BBC match of the day: “I liked the (performances) of young children. I liked how we controlled the game without more opportunities to score.

“In the first 30 minutes we fought with the set pieces, but we already knew we had no height to fight it. In the second half we are near the draw and we have suffered two goals as we did at the beginning when we suffer and let it go.

“We fought, but in the end we lost, but good things for the future.”

United plays a return game against Athletic Thursday night, and Amorim is convinced of an improved effect.

Added Sky Sports: “I don’t doubt we play better. So, we have to take all the warmth. At this point we are losing games in the Premier League.

“We fight for the Europa League, and Thursday is the most important game for us.”

Mason Mount scored United’s goal, and the English internationary accepted that it was another screen below.

He said, “We have to do better. We have to win this game. We started well, but the second half and the end of the first half we received goals where we knew what was coming. We knew they put the crosses in the frame and we have to defend better. We can better play in the game.”

Bees continue to buzz under the frank

It was the third victory of Troy for Brentford, who was left in a place in Europe next season.

Head Thomas Frank said, “I think we definitely have a momentum. The last 13 we have had a really good series of games, there is a flow of good playing. We have to keep it up. The next game is the most important game, which is Ipswich away.

“It’s already a good season, let’s see if it can be a good or amazing season.”
