'We are not happy' - Manchester United representative breaks silence on poor start to season

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A Manchester United representative has admitted club chiefs are 'not happy' with the start to the 2024/25 season. United entered the October international break sitting in 14th position and uncertainty surrounded Erik ten Hag after overseeing the club's worst start to a Premier League campaign.

However, Ten Hag survived the two-week break to remain in charge against Brentford at the weekend and United secured a much-needed three points at Old Trafford.

Brentford took the lead on the stroke of half-time on Saturday afternoon, but United demonstrated character in the second half and claimed a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, which sealed the Reds' first league win since Southampton.

Although there was intense scrutiny around Ten Hag during the international break, United did not comment on the situation and the Dutchman suggested it was business as usual at his pre-Brentford press conference, hitting out at 'fairy tale' stories about his future in the media.
