L’icona del Manchester United Peter Schmeichel incolpa Aaron Wan-Bissaka per il gol del Brentford | Calcio
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was mainly blamed for Brentford’s equalizer by Peter Schmeichel. The former Manchester United goalkeeper pointed out Wan-Bissaka’s mistake as Kristoffer Ajer scored a late equalizer in Brentford’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Second-half substitute Mason Mount had initially scored what looked like the winning goal deep into stoppage time, but Ajer’s strike in the 99th minute secured a point for the hosts.
Thomas Frank’s team had 31 shots compared to United’s 11, with the Red Devils failing to replicate their performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup. The result widened the gap between Brentford and the relegation zone, while United remained in sixth place, 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.
In his post-match interview, Erik ten Hag mentioned that Brentford wanted the win more than his players, a sentiment echoed by Schmeichel. He emphasized the lack of effort from United players compared to Brentford, highlighting Wan-Bissaka’s role in the equalizer.
Schmeichel criticized Wan-Bissaka for not tracking back and maintaining focus, attributing the equalizer to the defender’s lapse in concentration. He emphasized the importance of high standards and pride in playing for Manchester United. Wan-Bissaka’s lack of commitment on the field was a contributing factor to Brentford’s late equalizer.
