Cristiano Ronaldo snubbed a request from Erik ten Hag ’s assistant coach Steve McClaren to acknowledge Manchester United fans after their humiliating four-goal loss at Brentford.
Four goals in 25 first half minutes from Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbuemo left a shell-shocked United reeling and unable to respond. It was a humiliating defeat for United, who have now lost each of their opening Premier League matches.
On another afternoon in which United’s on-field shortcomings were clear for all to see, the only positive from a club point of view was the travelling fanbase – who continued to chant for the club throughout the match despite being subjected to a humbling showing from their side.
