Manchester United suffered humiliation in a four-goal defeat against a Brentford side who outfought and outthought them.
Four goals in 25 minutes from Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbuemo left a shell-shocked United reeling and unable to respond. Dasilva’s opener inexplicably crept through the gloves of David De Gea to kickstart Erik ten Hag’s side’s stunning collapse.
Minutes later, De Gea tried to play out from the back but Christian Eriksen – against his former side – was robbed in his own penalty area to allow Jensen to convert. United’s inability to defend set pieces was cruelly exposed as an unmarked Mee produced an easy finish before a fourth goal, this time a superb counter-attack from the Bees, resulted in Mbuemo netting a fourth.
