Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Old Trafford will turn into a battlefield for Manchester United FC and Brentford FC.

- 6' It’s a booking for Manchester United FC player. Luke Shaw gets a card.
- 11' What a strike from Casemiro! The score is 1-0.
- 16' Manchester United FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 21' Brentford FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 26' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ayden Heaven made 396 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Brentford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 61' Michael Kayode has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
