Is it bad!
Manchester United lose 4-0 at league midget Brentford on the second day of the Premier League!
Cristiano Ronaldo (37), who is making his debut as a starting eleven, is also going down the drain. United already conceded the four goals at the break. Incomprehensible!
United-Coach Erik ten Hag: “The team has to take responsibility. I feel sorry for the fans! I asked them to play with faith and take responsibility, they didn’t.”

10. Minute: After a throw-in by Dalot’s guests, Ronaldo can’t control the ball in his own half. Brentford immediately plays forward. Joshua Da Silva simply pulls off with his right foot in a half-right position. The long-range shot flies flat towards the short corner. That’s gotta be a thing for David De Gea… but the Spaniard actually slips the thing in goal. What a mega mega buck!
18. Minute: United is delivered at the tee, but you still want to play out the back. De Gea puts Eriksen under pressure, who immediately loses the ball. Mathias Jensen switches quickly – and snaps it in! 2:0!

30. Minute: Corner for Brentford. This sails from the right side far over to Toney, who heads the ball from the baseline into the goal area. Mee doesn’t really have the right timing there, he’s already falling. Still, United’s Martínez can’t intervene. The ball literally falls on Mee’s skull and from a very short distance into the goal on the right. A completely insane goal… 3-0!
35. Minute: United throws everything forward. Suddenly Brenford is in a 2v2 situation after a corner! Toney sends Bryan Mbeumo. Luke Shaw can no longer stop him, although he still pats his opponent’s upper body with his hands – and shoots his left foot flat into the left corner from about twelve meters. 4:0!
De Gea was hard on himself after the game: “Today I just take responsibility. I think I cost my team three points. It was a poor performance on my part. After the first and second mistake, it was very difficult for my team-mates. At the moment it’s difficult every time we concede a goal. I should have parried the first shot – then the result would have been different.”

Everything should be going better under the new coach ten Hag. Already at the start of the season there was a 1:2 bankruptcy.
United’s superstar Ronaldo rages! Again and again he complains to his opponents. In addition, he freaks out with every missed shot.

At the break, ten Hag brought on Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia and Scott McTominay for Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Fred. After all, United didn’t concede a goal after that. But nothing goes forward either…
Cheers on the other hand at Brentford, who rose in 2021: It is the first time since April 2, 1938 that the club has scored four goals against a top club.
Erik ten Hag is the first ManUnited manager since 1921 to lose his first two games. At that time the coach was called John Chapman.
