He let what looked like a routine long-range shot from Josh Dasilva through him and inside the post as Brentford went ahead after 10 minutes. He then conceded as Mathias Jensen made it 2-0 and further goals from Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo gave Brentford a 4-0 lead at the break. It’s two matches, two losses so far for Ten Hag, the Dutchman who arrived from Ajax in a bold offseason appointment as United's fifth manager in nine years and looked shell-shocked in the dug-out as the goals poured in at Brentford Community Stadium.
