Manchester United transfer news LIVE Brentford reaction and Frenkie de Jong updates

Erik ten Hag knew life at Manchester United would be tough but he would not have expected to have broken a 101-year record for all the wrong reasons.

He's become the first Reds manager to lose his first two games since 1921, and as a result, his club sit bottom of the Premier League with Liverpool next up. Yesterday's mauling at the hands of Brentford was a new low for United.

Fingers have been pointed in all directions but the loudest voice post-match was Gary Neville's. He called for United officials to shoulder the blame for being unable to provide Ten Hag with the recruits he needs.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains unclear, as the chase for Frenkie de Jong continues to drag on.

Today's big talking point: Who should shoulder the blame for United's poor start? Have your say here.

Frenkie de Jong has reportedly told his Barcelona teammates that he could be leaving the club this summer.

De Jong has been Manchester United's top transfer target since Erik ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford. United agreed a fee in principle with the Catalan giants for the 25-year-old in June, however progress on the deal has ended up stalling.

It was understood that this was down to a deferral of wages owed to De Jong by Barca. De Jong was therefore unwilling to leave Camp Nou while he had not received the money on his current contract.
