Twitter reacts as Man Utd are thrashed by Brentford & go bottom of Premier League
A new 30-year low for Manchester United. They have been thrashed 4-0 by Brentford a week after losing at home to Brighton and are now bottom of the Premier League on goal difference.
This was supposed to be the start of a bright new era under Erik ten Hag. But, so far, it has just been the same old, same old...
Manchester United are bottom of the Premier League for the first time since August 1992! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/OsYaSQRQBb

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't want to acknowledge the United fans. Those that did got booed.
McClaren advising Ronaldo to go over to the fans but Ronaldo not having it. Exchanges some words with him and then heads for the tunnel. #mufc

Brentford > Man Utd in every way.
Bees 4 Wannabes 0. #BrentfordFC superior to #mufc in every area. Pressed better, countered better, used the ball better, hungrier. Good recruitment, coaching & preparation leads to performances like this. They also have an owner who cares and thinks deeply about the club. #BREMUN

This is far from just Ten Hag's fault, but it is literally the worst start to any managerial reign at Old Trafford in more than 100 years...
Stat from @bbcjohnmurray, last Man Utd manager to lose opening two games was John Chapman in 1921. He lost the third as well.

It'd be drastic, but...🤣
Neville: “What do you do if you’re Erik ten Hag at half-time?”

It's like he knew!
It's been spoken about since he arrived, but does Lisandro Martinez's height cause problems for Manchester United?@Carra23 thinks it could be an issue. 🫤@SkyFootball pic.twitter.com/5B0Y0yrfiw

You know...the guy who used to run Liverpool's recruitment is available...
At this rate, the best signing #mufc could make under this ownership (if it is remotely possible) is Michael Edwards.
