Brentford media team go viral mocking Man Utd

Brentford enjoyed mocking Manchester United after Sunday's 6-3 defeat at Manchester City.

Brentford, fresh from their 0-0 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, took their chance to remind downbeat United fans about their own demolition job of Erik ten Hag's side earlier in the season.

United's first away game of the season saw the 13-time Premier League champions 4-0 down after 45 minutes, just the second time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013.

Posting on Twitter, Brentford's official account rejoiced at the interval scoreline as they drew similarities between themselves and Pep Guardiola's unbeaten City side.

At the time of publication the post shared with Brentford's 287,000 followers had achieved over 220,000 interactions with many supporters from other clubs joining in to heap more misery on United supporters.
