Football fans are in disbelief as Manchester United collapsed to the bottom of the Premier League standings for the first time in 30 years after an embarrasing 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford.
Manchester United ended Saturday bottom of the Premier League for the first time since August 1992.
This is the first season since the inaugural Premier League campaign in which a United team has lost their opening two fixtures.
On that occasion, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side lost 2-1 at Sheffield United on the opening day – with Brian Deane scoring the competition’s first-ever goal – and followed that up with a 3-0 home defeat to Everton.
That left United bottom for three days from August 19 to 21, but they recovered in emphatic style to become the first-ever Premier League champions.
Barring a heavy defeat for Nottingham Forest or West Ham tomorrow, or Crystal Palace on Monday, Erik ten Hag’s outfit will remain at the foot of the table at least until next weekend – when they play Liverpool.
