Premier League: A new low for Manchester United

-

Brentford 4 - 0 Manchester United

Was this a new for Manchester United?

(Warning- the video below contains some strong language)

It is the first time United have started a league campaign with consecutive losses since the 1992-93 season.

Brentford produced a sensational first-half performance as they scored four goals in the first 35 minutes to condemn Manchester United to a terrible defeat.

Josh Dasilva put the hosts ahead when his strike from distance somehow eluded United goalkeeper David de Gea.

Mathias Jensen doubled the lead after dispossessing former Brentford player Christian Eriksen, with Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo goals putting Thomas Frank's side four up during an incredible first half in which they stunningly dismantled United.

The defeat is United's seventh in a row on the road. This is their worst run since 1936, while it is the seventh time they have conceded at least four goals in a league game since the start of last season.

Highlights and reaction

One United fan commented on the above video: "Well done Brentford, from a United fan. We were shocking, pathetic and disgraceful. You humiliated us, and we deserved it. Hopefully, you've taught our overpaid prima-donnas that they have to run and fight to win at football. They've done nothing but pick paint colours for their Lamborghini's."

Another United fan told us: "As a Manchester United fan, congrats to Brentford for a cracking performance. No complaints on the result. It's not the losing that hurts for us, happy to lose to a better team on the day and hold our hands up."

Brentford manager Thomas Frank, told BBC Match of the Day: "I was very pleased, very proud of the performance. To beat Manchester United 4-0 - biggest club in the world, world-class players - makes some remarkable memories for the Brentford fans here. It's crazy. In some way unreal.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football?

Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
