The Red Devils made a comeback at Old Trafford thanks to Garnacho and Ramsus Højlund

Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund helped Manchester United secure a crucial comeback victory against Brentford, ending a five-game winless streak across all competitions and easing some of the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.

Ethan Pinnock put Brentford ahead just before halftime with a powerful header, capitalizing on the moment when Matthijs de Ligt was off the field receiving treatment for a head injury. However, United responded swiftly, with Garnacho equalizing early in the second half with a fierce strike.

The momentum shifted further in United’s favor in the 63rd minute when Bruno Fernandes produced a clever backheel assist to set up Højlund, who calmly chipped the ball over Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken to secure the win.

Manchester United will next face Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday before visiting West Ham United in the Premier League. Brentford, meanwhile, will host newly-promoted Ipswich Town at the Brentford Community Stadium next Saturday.
