Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes lost a second-half penalty as Coach Ruben Amorim’s side fell to a Premier League defeat at Brentford on Saturday.

United tried to fight their way back after Igor Thiago took advantage of United defending inside the first 20 minutes to give the home side a two-goal lead.

Benjamin Sesko pulled one back with his first goal since making a £74m summer move from RB Leipzig.

Fernandes was given the chance to level when Bees captain Nathan Collins dragged former Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo back inside the area.

After a delay of almost five minutes, which included a video assistant referee red card check against Collins and Brentford making two substitutions, Fernandes’ low effort was turned away by Caoimhin Kelleher.

Brentford wrapped it up deep in stoppage time when Mathias Jensen drove a high shot past United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from the edge of the area.
