MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund got on the scoresheet as Manchester United bounced back after conceding a controversial goal to beat Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday for their first victory in more than a month.

The win meant United climbed to 10th in the standings on 11 points after eight matches, and eased some of the pressure on beleaguered manager Erik ten Hag, whose job has been the subject of media speculation. Brentford are 12th on 10 points.
