Rúben Amorim remains in search of back-to-back victories since he took over the reins at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils traveled to Brentford for matchday 6 of the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign, but a first-half brace from Igor Thiago and a late goal from Mathias Jensen were enough to defeat the visitors from Manchester. Though new signing Benjamin Šeško scored his first goal since joining from RB Leipzig in the summer, it wasn’t enough to salvage a point for Manchester United.
Fernandes will be ruing his missed chance from the spot after failing to convert a penalty kick following a foul on Bryan Mbeumo.
The loss leaves Manchester United 13th on the table, having conceded 11 goals so far this season.
It remains to be seen whether the management will axe Amorim after this defeat, but one thing is certain: Manchester United remains a shadow of itself.
