What Ruben Amorim said about the "System" after the defeat - Manchester United vs Brentford 1-3
1Manchester United endured another damaging afternoon as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Brentford, with Bruno Fernandes missing a crucial penalty and Harry Maguire enduring a torrid display. The result deepened the scrutiny on Ruben Amorim, whose hopes of guiding United to successive Premier League wins for the first time under his tenure collapsed in painful fashion.
The match began in disastrous fashion for the visitors, echoing their heavy 4-0 loss at Brentford in 2022 during Erik ten Hag’s early days in charge. Poor positioning from Maguire allowed Igor Thiago to fire the hosts into the lead inside nine minutes. The Brazilian struck again later in the half, punishing United’s shaky defending to double Brentford’s advantage.
Benjamin Šeško managed to pull one back with a scrappy finish, giving United a glimmer of hope. Their golden chance to restore parity came when Fernandes stepped up to the penalty spot, but Caoimhin Kelleher produced a decisive save to keep the Bees in front.
United’s misery was compounded deep into stoppage time, when Mathias Jensen unleashed a stunning strike from distance to seal Brentford’s victory. For Amorim, the defeat raises fresh doubts about his ability to steady the ship at Old Trafford.
