Brentford vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score as visitors suffer four-goal defeat

Brentford 4-0 Manchester United: The hosts were four goals up inside 34 minutes as Erik ten Hag’s side capitulated

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.
