Manchester United achieved a much-needed victory in the Premier League, defeating Brentford 2-1, which eased some of the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
The team delivered strong performances overall, with Rasmus Hojlund shining, Alejandro Garnacho making an impression, and Casemiro’s contributions being notably overlooked in the match against the Bees.
Matthijs de Ligt was solid in the contest against Thomas Frank’s side, while Marcus Rashford seemed to be regaining his best form, a sentiment echoed by Garnacho.
Garnacho was excited about Rashford’s assist against Brentford, which came in the form of a stunning, Pirlo-like pass that set up Garnacho for the equalizer.
Following the game, Rashford posted a still image of the assist on Instagram, with an ‘A’ emoji in the caption.
It was a remarkable pass from the English winger, which did not go unnoticed by his Argentine teammate.
Garnacho took a moment to respond, showing his gratitude with a simple “thanks,” along with lovestruck eyes and several affectionate emojis, indicating his appreciation for Rashford’s assist.
Alan Shearer praised Rashford’s assist for Manchester United during his appearance on BBC’s Match of the Day.
He singled out Rashford’s assist to Garnacho for the equalizer as a key moment in the match. Shearer commented, “You’re about to witness an incredible cross. Yes, he had other options, but just look at the precision of the cross. He finds him perfectly, and the finish—oh, what an unbelievable goal. There are so many great aspects to that play.”
The match against Brentford displayed encouraging signs for the future, and fans will hope this momentum carries on into their upcoming game against West Ham at the London Stadium next week.
