Michael Carrick reveals why Matheus Cunha missed Brentford game

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick spoke to the media before Monday evening’s victory over Brentford, confirming the reason for Matheus Cunha’s absence.

United victory

United sealed all three points against Brentford courtesy of goals from Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko.

Casemiro broke the deadlock inside 11 minutes, nodding home a headed delivery from Harry Maguire. It was another goal from a dead-ball situation for United, who have grown into a real threat from set pieces this season.

Brentford grew into the game from there but it was United, against the run of play, who scored the next goal.

Amad won the ball back and sparked a dangerous counter-attack by laying it off to Bruno Fernandes. The United skipper raced up the pitch, flanked by Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo on either side. Fernandes opted for Sesko, who produced some fine footwork to beat the defender before firing into the back of the net.
