Man United 2-1 Brentford: Second-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund see hosts come from behind to end their five-game winless run and ease the pressure on Erik ten Hag

Manchester United sacked one manager – their greatest manager – during the international break when they ended Sir Alex Ferguson's ambassadorial role with the club and banned him from the home dressing room at the ground where a stand is named after him. Manchester United enjoyed a much-needed return to winning ways fuelled by Alejandro Garnacho's sublime volley The Red Devils had been winless in five matches and were facing a third consecutive home league loss Ethan Pinnock scored from a corner after Matthijs de Ligt was again forced off with his bloodied head But Ten Hag deserves plenty of credit for what happened next.

United looked reinvigorated and went ahead when Bruno Fernandes' inspired flick put Hojlund behind to coolly clip over Mark Flekken The result might ease the pressure slightly on Erik Ten Hag after a tough few weeks United came more and more into the game. An under-fire Marcus Rashford put in a brilliant cross in the 47th minute for Garnacho's goal Brentford almost struck their latest early blow just 145 seconds in, but Kevin Schade failed to connect with a tantalising cross Bryan Mbeumo struck off target before United's injury-disrupted defence dealt with another blow in De Ligt's injury Bruno Fernandes was heavily involved and his smart touch led to United taking the lead in the 62nd minute United threw everything at Brentford now.
