MANCHESTER UNITED turned fury over Brentford’s opener into a storming comeback win.
Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund fired excellent goals after Ethan Pinnock headed the Bees in front amid first-half stoppage time.

Pinnock struck after ref Samuel Barrott forced United defender Matthijs de Ligt off the pitch when defending a corner due to a bleeding head injury.
But the Red Devils used their rage to good effect after the break.
Garnacho soon slotted a brilliant equaliser.
And Hojlund deftly clipped the home side in front midway through the second period.
That underlined the way United had transformed the contest after the break, with Garnacho influential.

The Red Devils’ win will ease pressure on beleaguered boss Erik ten Hag, who this week defiantly blasted reports that he is on the verge of the sack.
On a crucial afternoon for Ten Hag and Co, here’s how SunSport rated each United performer.
ANDRE ONANA – 6
Did not have much to do for a lot of the game but pulled out a good first-half save to deny Christian Norgaard.
DIOGO DALOT – 6
Good display from right-back and almost capped it with a goal when he stormed forward only to have his effort beaten away by Mark Flekken.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 6
At the centre of the controversy in first-half injury time as he had to leave the field with a bleeding head wound and from a corner Brentford scored. He was already looking suspect as was the bandage that was put on his head early in the game in the first place.

JONNY EVANS – 7
Continuing an amazing end to his career at Old Trafford. Man of the match last time out in the goalless draw at Aston Villa and looked solid again. Great ovation when he came off towards the end.
LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 7
Shifted to an unaccustomed left-back spot but without problems and was particularly good getting forward down the flank.
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 6
Chosen alongside Casemiro instead of new buy Manuel Ugarte who was on the bench again, but struggled to get into this game although he was involved for Hojlund’s goal. Thankful for the referee’s whistle in the first period calling play back for a foul after missing a sitter.

CASEMIRO – 5
Looked like he was off in the summer but back in the team although looking to be missing a yard and often beaten to the ball.

MARCUS RASHFORD – 7
Does not operate as well on the right but Garnacho was so good down the left. Highlight of his first half was an incredible crossfield ball from right to left to set up Garnacho. Then in the second he provided the assist for Garnacho’s leveller.

BRUNO FERNANDES – 7
Tried to orchestrate something from midfield but looked a frustrated figure in the first period. Then he showed his class after the break with that great little flick to set up Hojlund for his goal.
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – 8
Had an all action first half after switching from the right to the left but wasted too many chances. Made up for it in the second with a fine finish from Rashford’s cross in a man of the match performance.

RASMUS HOJLUND – 7
After getting one in Porto to open his season’s account he is now off and running with his first league goal of the campaign. A cool, clever chipped little finish it was too. The hope will be that starts a much needed run of goals but he needs to see more of the ball.

SUBSTITUTES
Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 74) – 5
Strange change to make after Hojlund had just scored. His replacement fluffed the one half chance he had.
Victor Lindelof (for Evans, 89) – 6
A change that largely gave the fans a chance to acclaim Evans’ performance.
Manuel Ugarte (for Casemiro, 88) – 6
A change that probably should have come earlier.
Noussair Mazraoui (for Garnacho, 90+1) – 6
Back after a heart procedure for a few late minutes.

A BUDGET airline has announced a route between Britain and a major European city.
Transavia – a subsidiary of Air France KLM – is launching a service from London Stansted to Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
A budget airline has announced a route between Britain and a major European city[/caption]
Rotterdam offers stunning architecture, with its Old Harbour a must-see for anyone visiting[/caption]
The route will be launched on April 3 next year, with around four flights a week, Business Traveller reports.
These will be on Sunday and Monday lunchtimes, and Thursday and Friday evenings, it is understood.
Rotterdam serves as a trendy destination for culture vultures — crammed full of art and world-class grub.
Demolished by the Nazis in World War Two, Rotterdam has been revitalised in recent years.
The lesser-known Dutch city is crammed full of art and world-class grub, making it an ideal city-break destination.
The Cube Houses are some of the city’s most standout pieces of architecture.
Rotterdam is also home to the world’s first Floating Farm.
Located in the harbour, the first floating dairy farm in the world produces fresh products from 40 cows who live there.
Make sure to grab a bite to eat at one of the outdoor bars overlooking the Maas River.
Grab some traditional Dutch bitterballen with your drink — these deep-fried croquettes, made from stewed meat and served with mustard, are the perfect bar snack.
Head to the futuristic-looking Markthal for yet more food.
The giant food hall is packed with vendors selling grub from around the world as well as traditional local fare.
The news comes after The Sun reported last month that a new theme park is set to open in Rotterdam next spring.
Attractiepark Rotterdam is slated to open in March 2025, according to its owner Hennie van der Most.
