6 damning stats capture essence of Man United's horror show vs Brentford

Manchester United put up a woeful performance against Brentford, who looked like a far more elite side in comparison.

They got lucky with Mason Mount nearly scoring the winning goal but failed to hold onto the lead as Brentford equalised soon after.

Both sides had to settle for a point each but there is a feeling that Man United simply downed their tools. Even Erik ten Hag felt his players lacked passion and desire to win.

Here are six damning stats, via FotMob, from the game.

• Possession: Brentford 47% – 53% Man United

• Expected goals: 3.11 – 0.51
• Shots: 31 – 11
• Big chances missed: 3 – 1
• Corners: 14 – 4
• Big chances created: 6 – 2

Although Man United enjoyed more possession, they were also wasteful with their few chances. Brentford had more intent to go forward and played like a proper top-tier club even with key players missing.
