We have controlled the game, insists Ruben Amorim after Manchester United granted four to Brentford

Ruben Amorim claimed that his Manchester United “controlled the match” Brentford despite a 4-3 defeat This seemed closer than it was after two late goals from the visitors.

Amorim made eight changes to the side he won 3-0 in Athletic Bilbao in the middle of the week, as he made clear where his priorities are in the coming weeks. Young Tyler Fredricson and Harry AMASS included as the Chido Obi striker, who at the age of only 17 and 156 days became the youngest player who started a Premier League game for Manchester United.

Only Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte and Alejandro Garnacho retained their places and the Makeshift XI of the United States fought with Kevin Schade, scoring twice, while Brentford reached a 4-1 lead with eight minutes.

Garnacho and Amad Diallo reduced delays, but did little to mask the shortcomings of another united exhibition of United.

Love animated animated by young people

Despite the defeat, Amorim was optimistic later. He told the BBC game of the day: “I liked (the performances) of young children. I liked how we controlled the game without many occasions to score.

“In the first 30 minutes we fought with set pieces, but we already knew we did not have the height to fight this. In the second half we are close to the draw and we suffered two goals as we did at first when we suffered one and leave it.

“We have struggled, but in the end we lost, but the good things for the future.”

United Play the Retning against Athletic on Thursday night and Amorim is trusting in an improved performance.

He added to Sky Sports: “I have no doubt that we are playing better. So we have to take all the heat. At this moment we are losing matches in the Premier League.

“We are fighting for the European League and Thursday is the most important game for us.”

Mason Mount scored the goal of United and the International of England accepted that it was another of the exhibitions below the parties.

He said, “We have to do it better. We have to win this game. We start well, but the second half and the end of the first half, giving goals where we knew what it came.

Bees continue to play under Frank

It was a third victory in the Brentford trot, which remained in search of a place in Europe next season.

CAP Thomas Frank said, “I think we definitely have impetus. The last 13 we have had a good game career, there is a good game of games. We have to keep it. The next is the most important game and this is Ipswich.

“It’s already a good season, to see if it can be a good or amazing season.”
