"We didn't control the game. We played the game of Brentford. First balls, second balls, set-pieces. All the crucial moments were against us. It's tough to lose again but we need to think about the next one. The first goal was a long ball. We worked on that in the week, and on set-pieces. We knew the long balls were coming and after one touch, they had the opportunity. We need to do better."
"We need to do better. We didn't play our game. We only had control for some moments. But it was more or less all the same. We need to play our game, not the opponent's, but they were stronger on that. It is always the same to lose at this club, it hurts a lot. We need to think about the next one."
Manchester United lost 3-1 away to Brentford, falling 2-0 inside 20 minutes to an Igor Thiago brace. Benjamin Sesko scored his first goal for the club to make it 2-1, and Bruno Fernandes missed a second-half penalty when Caoimhin Kelleher saved. Mathias Jensen sealed the win with an injury-time goal. United struggled to defend long balls, second balls and set-pieces, failing to control the match. The result extended United's winless away run to eight games and left the team with only two league wins from six matches. The next fixture is a home game against Sunderland.
