United's Amorim experiences relief as they secure a long-awaited triumph in their opening match
Manchester United have claimed their first Premier League win of the season in dramatic fashion, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a late penalty to secure a 3-2 victory over Brentford.
The goal, scored in the 97th minute, was the fourth-latest winning goal for United in the Premier League since the 2006-07 season. It was a tense finish to the game, with Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony scoring for Brentford to level the match twice.
Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, felt that his team should have sealed the win in the first half. Despite the late drama, he expressed relief that United entered the international break with a win.
Amorim also expressed disappointment over the injuries of Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount, with the severity of their injuries still unknown. Cunha was replaced by Samuel Lino in the Brazil squad due to his injury, while Mount played with an injury before leaving the pitch.
The manager emphasized the importance of having Cunha and Mount for competitive play, stating that the team needs to improve and has a lot to do. He believes the two-week international break will provide opportunities for the team to regroup and prepare for the upcoming matches.
Scott Parker, the Brentford manager, was proud of his team's performance despite the loss. He believes his team has shown they can compete in the Premier League during the first three games of the season.
The match against Fulham and Arsenal will be crucial for United's season, with Amorim stating that these games will be a good test for the team. The win against Burnley in the opening game of the season was United's first Premier League victory of the season, with the first two goals of the season being own goals by United's opponents.
Bryan Mbeumo scored his first Premier League goal for United, with the winning goal coming after a tug on Amad Diallo led to a last-gasp penalty. United will be looking to build on this victory when they return to action after the international break.
