After losing 4-0 to Brentford on Saturday evening, things don't get much easier for Manchester United in their next Premier League fixture.
Liverpool head to Old Trafford on August 22 to face Erik ten Hag's side, who are currently rock bottom of the division following a 2-1 loss to Brighton on the opening weekend and a humiliation at the hands of Brentford. It has been a nightmare start for the Red Devils' new manager, who now has it all to do to turn things around.
Goals from Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo left United trailing the Bees by four goals at half-time and they were unable to issue a response of their own in the second half despite making use of all five substitutions available to them.
