Brentford have jumped at the opportunity to humiliate Manchester United even further following a dismal showing in the Manchester derby that saw United lose 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City were in cruise control at half-time with a well-deserved 4-0 lead thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, both of whom went on to score hattricks.

Brentford, fresh from their 0-0 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, took their chance to remind downbeat United fans about their own demolition job of Erik ten Hag’s side earlier in the season.

Brentford’s official Twitter account reminded United fans of their own achievement this season

United’s first away game of the season saw the record Premier League holders 4-0 down after 45 minutes, just the second time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013.

Posting on Twitter, Brentford’s official account rejoiced at the interval scoreline as they drew similarities between themselves and Pep Guardiola’s unbeaten City side.
