Manchester United face Brentford in the Premier League with Erik ten Hag’s side under pressure as they look to end a five-game winless run.
United have made their worst ever start to a Premier League season but a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa before the international break bought the Dutchman some time.
Ten Hag hit out at “fairytales and lies” and said United have to “climb a mountain” to get back to where they want to be in the but there would be no hiding from reality should Brentford claim a result.
Thomas Frank’s side have lost all three of their away games in the Premier League this season – although they have come against Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham – but the Bees came into the weekend ahead of United in the table.
