Ahead of the game, Neville had said United would need to 'defend for their lives' against a Brentford side that are known for their high pressing game, at home, and set-piece dominance. The Bees were the fourth best Premier League side for set-piece goals, last season, but ten Hag started without the taller, more physical Eric Bailly or Raphael Varane in the centre of defence.
More on that later. The first goal was 90% down to what Jamie Redknapp described as a 'Massimo Taibi' moment for David De Gea. The Spaniard looked to be comfortably behind a Josh DaSilva shot but succeeded in only flubbing the ball into his own net.

Eight minutes later and United were 2-0 down after unsuccessfully trying to play out from the back on their own kick-out.
United split their centre backs and Christian Eriksen jogged in to take a pass from De Gea. Brentford read the move a mile off. Eriksen was shut down, his pass was intercepted and Mathias Jensen fired home.
