With concern over their worst-ever start to a season, Erik ten Hag-led Manchester United squad face the disgruntled Old Trafford fans once again on Saturday
The Red Devils suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to Galatasaray in their midweek Champions League match while the Bees most recently held out for a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest.
Heading into the final 15 minutes level pegging at 2-2, Andre Onana and Casemiro breathed huge sighs of relief when Mauro Icardi sent a penalty wide of the mark – the goalkeeper’s awful pass went straight to Dries Mertens, who was felled by Casemiro for the Brazilian’s second yellow card – but the Argentine exorcised his 12-yard demons to delicately dink the ball over Onana a few minutes later.
Five of the hosts’ last seven matches in all competitions have now ended in defeat – including three of their last four in the top flight – and Ten Hag could also set another unwanted record this weekend, where United are at risk of losing three successive Premier League games at the Theatre of Dreams for the first time ever.
However, Brentford can take some solace from the fact that their only Premier League win this season did come on the road against London rivals Fulham, but that 3-0 success also represents their only clean sheet of the season so far in any competition – offering the glass-half-empty Man United crowd a slice of optimism.– Manchester United have won three of the four Premier League meetings, losing the other 4-0.
