Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford, snapping their five-game winless streak.
Brentford took the lead late in the first half when Ethan Pinnock’s header found the back of the net during stoppage time, intensifying the pressure on United manager Erik ten Hag.
Before the interval, United’s attack appeared disjointed, with their creativity stifled and confidence visibly lacking.
However, a rejuvenated second-half performance saw Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund score stunning goals to overturn the deficit and secure a much-needed victory for the hosts.
Garnacho’s equalizer sparked a shift in momentum, while Hojlund’s clinical finish capped off the spirited revival, lifting United above Brentford into the top half of the Premier League standings.
The result offers a timely boost ahead of United’s crucial midweek clash away to José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League.
