Erik ten Hag refused to pay much attention to how bad Brentford’s recent form was before their 1-1 draw against Man United.
After the game, he out against the disrespect towards the opposition side and said: “Don't lower the performances from Brentford. I have seen them against Man City and City was also lucky to win that game. And against Liverpool, in the first 35 minutes Brentford should have taken the lead, so don't express this.
“We should have done this better, I'm not happy with the performance, there is no misunderstanding, the players are also disappointed by the performance and we should be consistent in the game, go in the game, perform and show more aggressiveness.”
The Brentford Community Stadium has not at all been a lucky hunting ground for Ten Hag since he took over as Man United manager in 2022. He saw his Man United suffer a horrible 4-0 loss at this ground last season and the performance on Saturday (March 30) was probably just as bad from the Red Devils.
With this dismal draw, Man United are now 11 points away from the Premier League top-4 and probably need a miracle to qualify for the Champions League next season.
