Manchester United player Matthijs de Ligt and the coaching team were left incensed by Brentford’s opener at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. Luckily the Red Devils were able to turn the match around 2-1 through strikes from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund after a much-improved second half display.

Erik ten Hag says Manchester United were left “mad and angry” at half-time after Matthijs de Ligt was forced to leave the pitch a second time for treatment following a head injury he sustained during their 2-1 victory over Brentford.

Erik ten Hag and Manchester United are not having the best start to the season so far, and a moment early on in their Premier League fixture at home to Brentford on Saturday was somewhat symbolic of things so far.
