Bees swarm United to leave Ten Hag stung

Manchester United plumbed new depths after a 4-0 capitulation at Brentford sent Erik ten Hag’s side into fullblown crisis mode.

Through a mixture of catastrophic defensive ineptitude and Brentford opportunism, the Red Devils found themselves four down at half-time.

Goalkeeper David de Gea gifted the first two to Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee helped himself to a third and Bryan Mbeumo hit a fourth.

Ten Hag had insisted he was not panicking despite a lack of new signings. But he will now be looking for the button marked ‘P’.
