Every summer, Brentford seem to dance with death. They almost always sell off at least one of their best players and don't usually replace them, at least in a like-for-like sense. Yet since they were promoted to the Premier League in 2021, the Bees have never really faced the threat of relegation back to the Championship. It was, however, only this past summer that they were widely tipped to battle the drop.

Alan Shearer heavily criticised Ruben Amorim's tactical rigidity following another poor Manchester United showing away at Brentford on Saturday. The Newcastle legend believes United's predictable approach makes them easy to play against, and that Amorim's inflexibility could cost him his job.

Brentford manager Keith Andrews has been targeted with bizarre criticism by former Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill following the Bees' dominant win over Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday. Andrews' team dominated proceedings against a struggling United side and handed them their third defeat of the 2025-26 season.

Brentford still expect Yoana Wissa to stay at the club beyond the summer deadline, despite the striker's efforts to force a transfer to Newcastle.
