The Red Devils found themselves in a challenging position as Brentford took the lead just before halftime through Ethan Pinnock, who scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time. However, Erik ten Hag’s side responded brilliantly shortly after the break. Alejandro Garnacho leveled the score just three minutes into the second half, reigniting United’s hopes.
United continued to press for a winner, and their efforts paid off in the 62nd minute when Rasmus Hojlund found the net, putting them ahead 2-1.
With this crucial victory, Manchester United temporarily climbed to 10th place in the Premier League standings, now sitting on 11 points after eight matches.
