Supporters have lambasted Manchester United after finding themselves 4-0 down at half-time against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this evening.
After losing 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening weekend of the season, United manager Erik ten Hag was hoping for a response from his players, as he goes in search of his first win in the job. However, David de Gea's tenth minute error, where he allowed Josh Dasilva's effort to squirm through his hands and into the net, was the catalyst for what was to come.
The Bees added a further three goals to their tally in the space of just 17 first-half minutes. Mathias Jensen pounced on De Gea's decision to play the ball out from the back before Ben Mee bundled the ball home from close range, after United failed to deal with a corner to make it 3-0.

While the supporters in the stadium made their feelings clear, the fans watching at home took to social media to hit out at United's first-half showing in the capital. Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look to see what they had to say...
As you can see from the messages displayed in the tweets above, United's fans, rightfully so, have slammed the players for their first-half showing. It was nothing short of disgraceful in every sense of the imagination.
