MARTIN KEOWN: If David de Gea is as naive this week as he was at Brentford, United will be THUMPED... Liverpool are the most petrifying pressers in world football and Erik ten Hag's defenders could be lambs to the slaughter

Erik ten Hag has just endured his longest week in football. He was back on the training field within 24 hours of that 4-0 defeat by Brentford, the most embarrassing and inept performance from a Manchester United team in living memory.

I have no problem with Ten Hag putting his players through a Sunday running session. He felt they didn’t do enough to deserve a rest day and it’s going to take incredibly strong leadership from United's newest boss to resolve this crisis.

United have had six different managers since Sir Alex Ferguson.
