Erik ten Hag got a lot of things wrong in Manchester United's defeat to Newcastle. He got a lot of things right in the win over Brentford, though.

The Dutchman only made one change from the side that performed so poorly at the weekend, with Jadon Sancho replacing Wout Weghorst, but mixed things up in midfield by smartly swapping his central midfielders around.

Another key aspect was to keep his faith in Antony. The Brazilian has endured a mixed start to his life at Old Trafford, but has the priceless star quality to influence a game and create game-winning moments on his own.

He did just that to win this one. Read next: How the United players rated vs Brentford United were overall better than their weekend showing right from the off, but just as apparent was the continued lack of midfield craft to break down robust defensive sides.
