Manchester United stray further away from their European football spot in a dramatic 1-1 draw against an out of form Brentford who are looking to break their 7 game streak without a win including shocking losses to Burnley, West Ham and staggering losses to Arsenal and Liverpool.
Battling out for a place in the Europa League, Ten Hag’s Manchester United put up a miserable performance with the only action coming after the regulated 90 minutes with both goals coming in the 96th and 99th minute of the game.

According to a report from The Telegraph, Ratcliffe, who recently took over a minority stake in the club, was left unimpressed with their performance against Brentford over the weekend.
The report claims that he was not happy with their defeat to Fulham in February and thoroughly unimpressed with what he saw against Brentford.
It seemed as Mason Mount had just grabbed United the victory in the 96th minute however, Brentford had other plans completely running over United’s defence which seemed to lack concentration after the goal went in with fans in the stadium left in despair after joys and cheers for the ‘fergie time’ esc goal in added time.
If Manchester United want to have some strength and hope to reach the top once again, Erik Ten Hag needs to be looked at with his players letting the foot off the gas in the most crucial moments it seems. With the history of the huge club, fans of the Red Devils were hoping Ten Hag could bring them their once glory back to them however, it seems fans are turning on him and even the new majority owner of the club is agreeing with the quota that is going on across the Premier League at the moment.

Manchester United Football Club is no longer a team battling for the title, they are fighting a losing battle for a spot in the Europa League. Changes need to be made.
