Every match is a battle for Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag, because he needs results - otherwise he will simply be sacked.

In the game against Brentford the Dutch coach had to be nervous - in the fifth minute of the first half Brentford opened the scoring when Pinnock headed in a corner kick. The Reds rescued their coach right after the break, as Garnacho and Höjlund scored their goals to give Man United a 2-1 victory.
