Premier League Preview - Week 2

Manchester United suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Brentford as Erik ten Hag’s second game in charge resulted in one of the club’s worst results in their Premier League history.

United have now lost both of their opening Premier League matches under Ten Hag but the club plunged to new depths as a brilliant Brentford side raced into a four-goal lead inside 34 minutes.

Brentford took the lead after only 10 minutes thanks to a mistake by David De Gea, with the United goalkeeper at fault again as Mathias Jensen doubled the lead.

Brentford were 3-0 up within half an hour when Ben Mee bundled the ball home at the far post from a corner and it was 4-0 five minutes later when Ivan Toney teed up Bryan Mbeumo to finish past De Gea.

“You couldn’t say Erik ten Hag’s new era has plummeted to new depths. It was rather a continuation of everything that has come before, an implosion from so many problems that had built up for over a decade.”

Report from Miguel Delaney on an incredible day at the Brentford Community Stadium:

What an afternoon for Brentford! It’s a dream day for the Bees.

But for United, it’s nightmare stuff. Let the post-mortem begin.

United have lost seven away matches in a row!

Ronaldo shoots from range and that is easily saved by Raya.

83 mins: Onyeka is back up. The free kick was clever from Brentford, scooped over to Toney. His cross is put behind.

81 mins: Close! Almost a returning goal for Eriksen. The ball breaks to him in the box and he looks to hook the volley goalwards, but it drifts wide of the post.
