Marcus Rashford’s poor performance in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Brentford drew criticism from Jamie Redknapp, who said that the forward was “walking around like it was a bit of fun.”
At the Gtech Community Stadium, Mason Mount scored his first goal for United deep into stoppage time to break the tie. However, Kristoffer Ajer responded at the other end of the pitch with an equaliser in the 99th minute to preserve a point for the home team.
After a thrilling 4-3 victory over fierce rivals Liverpool to go to the FA Cup semifinals against Coventry City, United’s players will have entered the international break full of confidence. However, Erik ten Hag’s team was far from at its best in west London as the Red Devils were unable to string passes together or pose a threat to Mark Flekken’s goal.
The first half saw Brentford, led by Thomas Frank, log 34 touches in the opposition box, which is a record for the first 45 minutes of a Premier League game this year.
During the interval, Redknapp, a former midfielder for Liverpool and England, did not hold back in criticising United’s performance, citing it as “amazing” and focusing specifically on Rashford’s performance.
After a fantastic outcome against Liverpool, I believe that Man United supporters were eagerly anticipating tonight. “You thought they could have salvaged their season,” Redknapp remarked in the Sky Sports control room. “They’ve been really awful tonight.”

Dion Dublin, a former United forward, charged that Ten Hag’s players were not accountable for giving over the ball. “As a former player for United, the thing that hurts me the most is their response when they lose the ball,” Dublin remarked. It’s not good enough when they give up the ball because they immediately think, “Oh, my teammate will get it back!”
