David de Gea acknowledges that his performance in the humiliating 4-0 loss at Brentford was “terrible,” and the incensed boss orders a further training session.
On Sunday, Erik ten Hag instructed his players to report to practice.
Following the humiliating 4-0 loss to Brentford, an irate Erik ten Hag forced his Manchester United players to practice instead of taking the day off as planned.
After the team returned from their humiliating trip to west London on Saturday evening, according to Telegraph Sport’s sources, Ten Hag was back at United’s Carrington training facility on Sunday morning. The Dutch manager’s first move after their second consecutive Premier League loss was to cancel a planned rest day for the players.

After United’s shocking performance at the Gtech Community Stadium, which saw them surrender four goals in the span of 35 minutes and leave them bottom of the table and without a point to their name, Ten Hag ordered his team to report for an additional session, having made his feelings clear to them.
The United goalkeeper, David de Gea, said after the loss, “He said it was unacceptable what we were doing on the pitch. “Next, some tactical moves. It was awful coming from us.
Being honest is difficult, he continued. There are still difficult times. I know the lads, and everyone is working hard, as I have repeatedly stated.
The beginning is that I’m working hard and the manager is working even harder.
These are only the initial games because we made significant changes. We must significantly improve, pay attention to the manager’s instructions, and, of course, start winning games.
“It makes no difference who we go off against. We must devote a lot of time to game preparation. This week is really long.
After this loss, it will undoubtedly be difficult. But let’s train hard, risk our lives in competition, and compete for the badge and our pride.
David de Gea apologizes to Manchester United supporters
Josh Dasilva’s long-range shot that slipped past De Gea’s gloves for the first goal and his poor pass to Christian Eriksen that set up Mathias Jensen for the second goal shortly after were both De Gea’s responsibility.
Although he was far from the only one to blame for their appalling first-half performance, the Spaniard came forward after the final whistle and apologized to TV cameras. Ten Hag responded at halftime by substituting left-back Luke Shaw, center-back Lisandro Martinez, and midfielder Fred.
After Martinez failed to deal with a corner, Ben Mee headed in the third goal, and Bryan Mbeumo scored a sharp fourth goal with help from Ivan Toney. When Eriksen returned to the team he left in the summer on a free transfer to Old Trafford, some of the home crowd booed him.
Thomas Frank, the manager of Brentford, stated: “I comprehend how fans may respond. Personally, I believe that every move we take as a club should reflect class, respect, and honesty.
The banter is there when you can sing a little bit, of course, but booing a player? That’s not me, and it’s not class. I won’t say it’s okay if fans want to do it, but I would never do it.
