Don't panic! Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag claims everyone is calm at the club despite poor start to the season after defeat by Brighton as well as public criticism over transfer policy

Erik Ten Hag says there is no panic at Manchester United over their poor start to the season and criticism of the club’s transfer policy.

The Dutchman’s side travel to Brentford on Saturday in the 5.30pm kick-off desperate for a victory after a shock 2-1 opening-day defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford last weekend.

United were also forced to ditch their bid to sign veteran former Stoke and West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic, 33, following a backlash from supporters — and have faced questions over their pursuit of the troublesome Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
