Thomas Frank sounded more pleased with Brentford when they lost and nearly lost to Manchester United than when they won. After United's 3-1 win at the Community Stadium in January 2022, Frank opined, "We destroyed them in the first half, they didn't have a sniff. "The way we smashed them in the first half was fantastic, so proud of my team.

They (United) are unbelievably lucky. I know all the crap about taking chances. They changed the system against little Brentford." United at least recovered under Ralf Rangnick that night and clinically defeated Brentford with three goals in 22 second-half minutes.

Frank said afterwards: "I think this performance was one or two levels higher than the 4-0 win against them." There was key context, too.
