It took Christian Eriksen five words to sum up his and Manchester United's Saturday afternoon in the sweltering heat of west London. Bizarrely booed by fans of the club he spent the second half of last season representing, Eriksen was hounded and hassled in an unfamiliar position, targetted by his former teammates as a weak link in a holding midfield position.
The Dane was pressed constantly and struggled to dictate the tempo from his role in Erik ten Hag's side. United were crushed 4-0 by Brentford, their latest humiliation in a catalogue full of them.
Eriksen trudged through the mixed zone half an hour after full-time and was asked to stop for a word by the journalists present. "Not today, it was a terrible day."
