LONDON :Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes had a penalty saved as his team slipped to a 3-1 defeat at Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, Igor Thiago scoring twice for the hosts.

Fernandes had to wait several minutes to try to equalise with his penalty, awarded for a foul on former Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, and his weak effort was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.

Brentford wrapped it up in stoppage time when Mathias Jensen netted with a powerful effort following a quick break.

It was yet another disjointed performance by Ruben Amorim's United who were 2-0 down after 20 minutes.
