TEN HAG ANGER ROUSES RED DEVILS

Goals from Garnacho and Hojlund for third win of season ease pressure on manager

- 

Manchester United eased a bit of the pressure on their embattled manager Erik ten Hag with a 2-1 come-from-behind English Premier League victory over Brentford at Old Trafford on Oct 19.

The Red Devils had come into the match in 14th place on eight points with just two wins from seven games - their worst start to a campaign since 1989-90.

Reports had suggested the United hierarchy - including co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive officer Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox - had a long meeting earlier in the week, with ten Hag's future on the agenda.

In the pre-match press conference on Oct 19, the Dutch manager accused segments of the media of "creating stories, creating fairy tales, bringing noise, bringing lies" regarding his future.
