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.

GOAL! Brentford 2-0 Manchester United
Jensen again! United all over the place, it’s 2-0!
It’s the way Ten Hag wants to play, but De Gea’s ball is dangerous.
Eriksen is attacked immediately, a swarming press and Jensen grabs the ball inside the United box, turns, then slides the ball into the corner.
Wild scenes in Brentford. 2-0.
Brentford 1-0 Manchester United
Maguire with a clumsy challenge on Mbeumo, he could get a red without the covering Martinez.
Jensen bends the free-kick up and it’s just over.
Brentford 1-0 Manchester United
United almost hit back immediately, Shaw to Sancho, and it’s back to Fernandes, unmarked on the edge of the area.
It’s a bullet, but always rising, a poor effort, he should hit the target.
GOAL! Brentford 1-0 Manchester United (Dasilva)
That’s a howler from De Gea, Dasilva’s strike squirms through the Spaniard’s guard, it’s awful!
Ronaldo is moaning after the goal, wants a foul in the build-u, but it won’t be given.
United suffer a devastating early blow here after a little more than 10 minutes.
Brentford 0-0 Manchester United
Brentford 0-0 Manchester United
It’s a lively start in Brentford, Ronaldo getting on the ball quickly.
A flick and one-two, then a toe-strike from range, it’s not caught well and skips easily into the hands of Raya.

Manchester United chase Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
Juventus have reportedly agreed to sell Adrien Rabiot to Manchester United for an initial £15million. The Guardian says the discussions over personal terms for the 27-year-old France midfielder are still at an early stage with approval still needed from his agent and mother. The paper notes he has achieved success with five Ligue 1 titles at Paris St Germain as well as another in Serie A, but he also has a uneven discipline record including fines for lateness.
The Red Devils are also said to be interested in Lazio’s Serbia midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who they have been linked with for a number of years. But the Telegraph reports intermediaries believe a deal can actually be done for the 27-year-old.

Premier League latest scores
It’s four at the Etihad, but an own-goal for Lerma might disappoint some FPL players.
Some captained or triple-captained Erling Haaland today, did the move pay off?
It’s five points so far, with 73 minutes enough for two points, plus his assist for Gundogan’s opener.
