Thomas Frank, Brentford’s manager, talked about how he thought the team played after their 1-1 draw with Manchester United. He said that they played better than the 4-0 win they had over the same opponents last season. The famous win over United happened in August 2022, early in Erik ten Hag’s time as manager.
It was a big moment for the Bees. But Frank thinks that Brentford’s showing in the most recent game showed even more skill, even though they won easily. United was on defense during Saturday’s game at the Gtech Community Stadium, letting 31 shots on goal. Even though Brentford had a strong defense, United still managed to get a point, which made them very angry. Mason Mount’s late goal seemed to tip the balance in United’s favor, but Kristoffer Ajer quickly leveled the score, giving Brentford a well-deserved point. Frank couldn’t believe they hadn’t won, pointing out how dominant their team was throughout the game. In his words after the game, Frank said that his team had played so well that it was one of their best games of the season. In particular, he praised the players for how hard they worked and how well they kept control against United’s strong attacking trio. In an interview with Sky Sports, Frank talked about the game and said again that he thought Brentford was the better team and deserved to win.
Even though they lost late, he was happy with the team’s general performance and said it was almost perfect.
Brentford took more shots than any other team in Premier League history during the game, which showed how dominant they were on the field. Frank stayed positive, focusing on the good things and saying he was confident in the team’s skills going forward, no matter what happened.
