Man Utd: Erik ten Hag cancels day off after 4-0 Brentford defeat

The day off was canceled by the Manchester United boss after the embarrassing loss.

The rest of the weekend was supposed to be off, but with no game until August 22nd, Ten Hag wanted to give his players a break.

He revised his plans because of Saturday's loss.

He was at Carrington early on Sunday to think about the nature of the defeat.

The loss prompted a debate on Sky between Jamie Redknapp, who feels the players need to take more responsibility, and Gary Neville, who wants the club's owners to give a public explanation.

The Manchester United Supporters Trust has called for urgent and radical change.

Senior United figures know that there is no quick fix to the current situation.

The new players that Ten Hag feels are essential to his rebuild are still being talked about.

The problem with the players Ten Hag has is exemplified by David de Gea's pass to Christian Eriksen for the second goal of the game.

The players are supposed to be brave in possession.

Having conceded an early opener because of De Gea's blunder, rather than try to control the game to ensure the damage didn't get worse, United carried on with their strategy of playing risky passes, which resulted in Eriksen being robbed of possession inside his own penalty area for the second goal
