United are now 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, albeit with a game in hand, and eight behind Tottenham in fifth as their Champions League hopes faded again.

바카라śI feel sad because we are Manchester United, so it doesn바카라™t matter who you play. Everywhere we go, we have to win,바카라ť goalkeeper Onana told MUTV.

바카라śWe gave away this game in the end. We did a fantastic job defending, it was not our best game but the most important thing was to win. So, yeah, it바카라™s difficult.바카라ť

Onana made five saves as Brentford had 31 attempts on goal and hit the woodwork four times.

바카라śThe most important thing is the victory of the team,바카라ť added Onana.

바카라śIt바카라™s good when you contribute and you have a victory. Of course, we didn바카라™t lose this game but the way we conceded that goal is bad for all of us because we are in this together. We blocked shots and made saves together.

바카라śAs a leader and experienced player, we have to take responsibility and always stay positive because it바카라™s the biggest club in the country.

바카라śWe have to continue working hard and be humble. I know we will stick together because we did it in the last month. I hope we end in the top four.바카라ť

Brentford have endured a difficult season 바카라“ they are riddled with injuries and were missing their entire first-choice back four against United.

But Thomas Frank바카라™s side are five points above the relegation zone and, if they continue to play like this, will have nothing to worry about.

바카라śI know we바카라™ve lost too many games but the performances have been better than the points we have got, there바카라™s no doubt about that,바카라ť said Frank.

바카라śThere are reasons, there are mistakes and there are margins. That바카라™s football, unfortunately, sometimes.

바카라śBut it바카라™s been coming and there바카라™s been a lot of good performances and with all these setbacks and the struggles this team has been through, we just need to keep going.바카라ť
