Since Ruben Amorim's first game in charge in November 2024, no team has conceded the first goal in more different Premier League games than Manchester United (21). Bruno Fernandes has missed two of his three penalties for Manchester United in all competitions this season, having scored each of his previous 11 spot kicks.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim spoke to TNT Sports after his side slipped to a defeat at Brentford: "Of course we want to win. We didn't control the game. We played the Brentford's game - first balls, second balls, set pieces. All of the crucial moments were against us.
"It's tough to lose again, but we need to think about the next game.
"The first goal was a long ball. We worked on that in the week and we worked on set pieces. We knew the long balls [were going to come], but one touch and they had the opportunity. We need to do better.
"We didn't play our game. We had control for some moments, but it was more or less all the same. We need to play our game, not the opponents', but they were stronger on that."
On the pressure of the job after another defeat: "It is always the same to lose at this club, it hurts a lot. We need to think about the next game now."
