Erik ten Hag told Man Utd star to "stop whining" as he laid down law from the start

Erik ten Hag endured a tough start at Manchester United but he had to lay down the gauntlet from the get-go after the humiliating 4-0 defeat at Brentford.

The Red Devils were thrashed at the Brentford Community Stadium courtesy of goals from Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo - leaving United bottom of the Premier League after two matches. It was a demoralising afternoon in west London and Ten Hag felt he had to change something.

The Dutchman was visibly upset and frustrated with his side's performance and made his players do a gruelling 8.5mile run the day after the loss at Brentford. Ten Hag decided to take part in the punishment but he was far from happy with his team and labelled the display as "rubbish" in his post-match press conference.
