FULL-TIME. MAN UNITED 1-0 BRENTFORD. Not a classic display from United but they were strong on attack and ruthlessly dominated possession. Brentford will be frustratedbut against a top-class side you sometimes have to suck up a defeat and move on to the next match. Thanks for sharing the action with us, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Brentford burst into the United box, the hosts stand firm and the ball rolls out to Toney on the edge of the box in spacebut instead of slashing it at goal (and perhaps deflecting for a corner)Toney dinks it over the posts. A great chance wasted (although it's easy to pass such judgement from the comfort of the keyboard.
Brentford with a pass into the United half but it's just too loose and United regain possession. So frustrating for the visitorsbut a moment of magic could still seal the dealand a share of the spoils.
Varane rises high to win the corner and send Brentford backwards United win the ball, Rashford races downfield and wins a corner as his shot is deflected away.
