Overview

• Igor Thiago scored twice for Brentford, Benjamin Sesko netted his first United goal, and Mathias Jensen added a late strike after Bruno Fernandes had a second‑half penalty saved.
• Referee Craig Pawson awarded United a penalty for Nathan Collins pulling back Bryan Mbeumo but did not issue a red card, a call Amorim said he would not dwell on.
• Amorim said United "played the game [Brentford] wanted" with long balls and transitions, apologised to fans, and insisted he is "not concerned" about his job.
• United’s struggles under Amorim deepened with no back‑to‑back league wins in his tenure, nine wins from 33 Premier League games, frequent first goals conceded, and an eight‑match away league winless run.
• Local reporting cited a sizeable compensation package to dismiss Amorim, with the Manchester Evening News attributing a figure of around £12m to the Daily Mail.
