Brentford 4-0 Manchester United: Erik ten Hag takes responsibility for poor Man Utd performance

The standard of the squad is not good enough according to the manager.

After two games in the premier league, United have no points.

The situation is a difficult one according to Ten Hag.

He said that they have to provide higher standards.

There is a difficult process that we are in. You want a different beginning. It is not what we were expecting.

New players are needed. Quality players are needed. We are trying to get them to come.

Since the transfer window opened, United have been involved in a long-running hunt for new players.

The main target for Ten Hag has been Frenkie de Jong, but the 25-year-old has said that he would prefer to join the Blues.

Despite significant disapproval from United's support, a transfer that appears close, despite negative reaction from fans, is still being pursued by the club.

The team has to be held responsible. The fans did everything to support us, but we let them down.

We didn't do that because we didn't take responsibility as a team. They were told to play with belief and take responsibility for their performance. We have to fix that.

The manager is in charge. He has the main responsibility and I will work on that.

'I cost my team three points' - De Gea

While Ten Hag felt the team as a whole had to take the blame, David de Gea pointed the finger at himself.

He told Sky Sports that he was going to do the player's post match interview. I lost three points for my team. It wasn't a good performance from me.

Josh Dasilva's strike went through the grasp of the Spain international and kicked off the goal rush.

It was difficult for my teammates after the first two mistakes. It's difficult when we concede a goal. If I had saved the first shot, the outcome would be different.

Since the end of last season, United have lost four successive league games and seven consecutive away matches.
