Yep. Lucky that they didn't press and test us. We didn't take our chances. Can't keep relying on Rashford.
Credit to ten Hag for mixing it up, getting Sabitzer to get into the No.9 role so often, confusing Brentford, attracting the two central defenders and allowing Rashford to roam free. Paid off with a Sabitzer assist for the Rashford goal.
McTominay had a great defensive midfield game. Commentator actually said it felt like there were two or three McTominays around, breaking up opponent's plays and intercepting...

Too bad his shot sailed above the crossbar.
