Man United Scrapes Past Brentford: A Win is a Win, Right?
Okay, let's be honest, that game was stressful. Brentford came out flying and had us all worried for a good chunk of the first half. They were buzzing and Man United looked… well, lethargic.
Rashford had a golden chance early on that he somehow managed to miss, and it felt like a sign of things to come. We were all over the place, struggling to get a foothold in the game. It's a good job Erik ten Hag wasn't in the stands because his blood pressure would have been through the roof!
But thank goodness for Casemiro! He's a beast, and his goal just before half-time was the lifeline we desperately needed. It gave us some much-needed confidence, and it showed we could still find a way to win even when we were playing like a bunch of… well, you know.
The second half was a bit less frantic but Brentford still gave us a good run for our money. The atmosphere at the Brentford Community Stadium was electric, and the home fans were louder than a pack of rabid dogs.
Then, the moment we'd all been waiting for: Bruno Fernandes with a spectacular goal! What a strike! The whole stadium went silent for a second as the ball flew into the back of the net. It was magic.
Even with the win, it's clear Man United still have a lot of work to do. We need to sort out our defense, find a way to convert more chances, and stay focused for the whole 90 minutes. But hey, a win is a win, right? We’ll take it, and move on to the next one.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a stiff drink…
