Man Utd coach lays into players following embarrassing loss and Ronaldo snub (VIDEO)

The Red Devils were soundly beaten 4-0 by Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday

Struggling Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been forced to apologize to the club's long-suffering supporters after they saw their team humbled 4-0 by Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. 

Thanks to back-to-back defeats including a 2-1 loss to Brighton in their season opener, United are now bottom of the league and look like extending their trophy drought to six years and going without winning the top flight English title for a decade.

Speaking to reporters after the annihilation where all the goals came in the first half, Ten Hag admitted that Brentford were "more hungry" than his charges, who ignored his game plan.

"We conceded goals from individual mistakes. You can't have a tactical plan but then put it in the bin," Ten Hag noted. 

Erik ten Hag: “The team has to take the responsibility. I feel sorry for the fans”.
