EPL: Why Man Utd lost 4-0 to Brentford – Ten Hag

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has given reasons why they lost 4-0 at Brentford on Saturday.

It was the second consecutive defeat for Ten Hag, as he still waits for his first win in the Premier League.

The former Ajax boss has now said his team made mistakes and were not ready for the game.

Ten Hag said: “It is my responsibility to give an explanation. It is clear the performance was really poor. When you make mistakes like this, you can’t win the game.

“It is about taking responsibility on the pitch, you cannot make such mistakes at our level. We had to deal with the disappointment and bring the belief on the pitch.

“You have to be ready for a game and be ready for the battle as individuals and as a team. We have to push each other and bring the demands in because it is not good.

“It is clear we need players but I don’t want to think about that in this moment. The good players we had should have been better.

“I hoped for a better start, but still I have to believe because I have seen good things but the two games from now are disappointing.”
