Newcastle United fans have been quick to remind Rio Ferdinand of a historic taunt following Manchester United's latest humiliating defeat. Erik ten Hag's nightmare start at Old Trafford continued as the Red Devils were thrashed by Brentford in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Saturday evening.
Thomas Frank's rampant side raced into a four-goal lead before the break, as the Bees capitalised on physical mismatches and several errors from the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo was handed his first start of the season, but was unable to provoke a response from the Red Devils as ten Hag's side now sit bottom of the table after two matches.
The lacklustre performances and transfers so far has led to the now familiar televised debates detailing Manchester United's current plight. Gary Neville once again took aim at the Glazer family in his post-match comments, criticising the owners for their lack of investment in the club's infrastructure despite their lavish transfer spending in recent years.
