More distress for Ten Hag?

United’s 2-1 loss at home to Brighton on Sunday, which was greeted with boos at Old Trafford, has already raised the stakes for Ten Hag in solely his second aggressive match as supervisor. 

Brentford, in contrast, got here back from 2-0 down to attract 2-2 with Leicester City, objectives from Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva salvaging some extent in opposition to the chances after a flurry of well-timed substitutions from Thomas Frank.
