Brentford vs Man United Result – Amorim Under Pressure

Brentford 3-1 Manchester United – Latest Update & What It Means for Ruben Amorim

Brentford Shock Manchester United with 3-1 Win in Premier League Clash

Brentford, September 27, 2025 – Manchester United’s poor start to the season continued with a 3-1 defeat to Brentford at the Community Stadium, raising further questions over head coach Ruben Amorim’s future.

The game turned quickly in the hosts’ favor as Igor Thiago struck twice in the opening 20 minutes, exposing United’s fragile defense. Although Benjamin Šeško pulled one back with his first goal for the club, the visitors wasted key chances, most notably when Bruno Fernandes saw his 76th-minute penalty saved by Caoimhín Kelleher after a lengthy VAR delay.

Brentford sealed victory in stoppage time when Mathias Jensen fired home a stunning third, leaving Amorim with just two league wins this season.

Defensive Errors Cost United Again

United’s backline was once more under the spotlight, with Harry Maguire caught out for the opener and Matthijs de Ligt misjudging a long ball in the buildup to Thiago’s second. Despite strong saves from Altay Bayindir, United never recovered from their early mistakes.

Earlier coverage shows that Amorim’s side have now conceded 17 defeats in 33 league matches since his arrival last season, marking the club’s worst start since the Premier League’s inaugural 1992–93 campaign.

Fernandes’ Miss Deepens Crisis

The turning point came when Nathan Collins pulled down former teammate Bryan Mbeumo inside the box. While many expected a red card, VAR downgraded the decision to yellow, forcing Fernandes to wait over four minutes before taking his penalty – only to see Kelleher dive left and save.

According to reports, Amorim admitted post-match that United “played Brentford’s game instead of our own” and stressed the need for immediate improvement.

What’s Next for Manchester United?

United will attempt to bounce back at Old Trafford against Sunderland on October 4, but pressure is mounting. With just seven points from six matches, the season already looks in jeopardy unless Amorim finds answers quickly.

Meanwhile, Brentford’s dominant display has boosted their early campaign hopes, with Igor Thiago emerging as one of the league’s sharpest finishers.
