“I Don’t Think It Was A 3-0 Defeat” – Brentford Boss Thomas Frank Explains Why His Team Lost To Manchester United (Details below)

Brentford boss Thomas Frank claimed after the game that the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United wasn’t a fair reflection of the game but admitted Manchester United played well and deserved to beat Brentford.

Frank told Sky Sports: “We played a Manchester United team who played well today, so congratulations to them.

“I think we started well for the first five minutes but then Manchester United were on top. Second half I saw much more my team I want to see play. We were back in the game but made a stupid penalty. It took a little bit out of everything and then we conceded on a set piece. Better second half.

“We were in the game [at 1-0]. We had opportunities and we were equally in the game, which was good.

“Eriksen is again a very important player for us. The key is he performs consistently at a high level. It is no secret we would like to do everything we can to keep him.

“I don’t think it was a 3-0 defeat in terms of chances. I think it was a fair loss. We have had a very good season in many ways. We win or learn and today we learned a lot.”
