Manchester United lose their first two games for the first time in 101 years

Manchester United could not have started the season worse and right now it is a tinderbox. It had been 101 years since he lost the first two league games. To the defeat in the debut of the Premier at Old Trafford against Brighton (1-2) last Sunday he added the ridiculous win yesterday (4-0) in his visit to Brentford.

Four goals he received in the first half, a circumstance that is the third time that the Red Devils repeated in their history. Ten Hag's team is currently at the bottom of the Premier League and on the next day they host Liverpool.

This time Cristiano was among the starters (against Brighton he came out in the second half), but the Portuguese contest was nil. David De Gea played a star role in the shipwreck, failing in the first two goals, scored by Dasilva (10) and Jenssen (17). Before the break, the locals scored again through Ben Mee (30) and Mbeumo (35).

The second part was a want and I can't from United. Cristiano had several occasions but it was not effective at all. It was torture for Old Trafford, who were covered with yellow cards at the end, due to impotence.

On the other hand, Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 4-0 at the Etihad and linked their second victory in the Premier. Bernardo Silva, wanted by Barcelona, ​​was a substitute and Pep Guardiola made him come on to play in the 64th minute. The game had little history: City were far superior. The goals were the work of Gündogan, De Bryune, Foden and Lerma's own goal
