Manager Erik ten Hag has suggested that he informed his Manchester United players that it was unacceptable to find themselves 4-0 down by half-time during Saturday's crushing defeat to Brentford.
United, who had won their first and only previous visit to the Gtech Community Stadium, winning 3-1 last season, suffered their second consecutive defeat at the start the season, falling to a shameful 4-0 reverse. The damage was complete within the opening 35 minutes of the contest, with two David de Gea errors paving the way for a Brentford onslaught.
After Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen had each pounced on De Gea's mistakes, the Bees added to their tally through Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo. United had no answer for Thomas Frank's side and could have found themselves even further behind at the break.
