FootballManchester United Concede Against Brenford as Onana, Casemiro on The Spot for Mistakes
- Manchester United were up in arms on social media after conceding another goal at Old Trafford on Saturday
- A mistake in midfield saw the Bees advance forward, and Mathias Jensen's tame shot agonizingly went under Andre Onana
- United went into the game looking to end a torrid run of two straight losses
Manchester United fans had an eerie sense of dejavu after their side went behind against Brentford on Saturday, October 7.
Looking to get out of a three-game losing streak, United welcomed the Bees to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag made a number of changes to the side that lost to Galatasaray in midweek.
One notable addition to the squad was Harry Maguire, who was in the starting XI in the Premier League for the first time this season.
There were hints of lethargy among Manchester United players as the game got underway as they struggled to break down Brentford’s organized defence, spearheaded by Ethan Pinnock.
The deadlock was eventually broken, however, after 26 minutes after a mistake from Casemiro in midfield allowed Brentford to go forward. Amid confusion in defence, the ball fell to Mathias Jensen, whose shot squirmed under Andre Onana for his fourth goal in six games for his side.
United fans question club’s defence
Soon after the goal, fans on social media raised questions about the state of the club, whose unpredictable nature going into each game continues to frustrate.
Questions were particularly raised about Onana, as the former Inter man once again conceded what would typically be a routine save for a goalkeeper.
