Oh what a disaster got De Gea. And it was Ronaldo who turned over the ball to start the move.

Man, I don't mind seeing that happen to ManU but I did essentially the same thing last night in my game, so my "ha ha" is tempered a bit.

They couldn't do a goal kick properly! One of the funniest moments I've seen. Drury taking the piss out of them on commentary.

'What HAS he taken on???" as they show a confused ETH, just hilarious stuff.

Nice to see ETH used the water break to sort out the goal kick business…

Lisandro Martinez looked like he was every bit of 5'9" when trying to mark and defend Ben Mee on that header. My goodness.

OGS's "no tactics, just vibes" approach might have honestly been the only way to get things out of this squad after all. They seem both unable and unwilling to engage with tactics.

It’s hilarious that Jose Mourinho put Scott McTominay in the Man United midfield as basically an anti-Pogba psy-op and he’s still there.

"beating them for the first time since 1937" is not something you hear too often in pro sports.

Here’s the Guardian’s transcript of De Gea’s post-match press hit. I appreciate his honesty and clarity here.

David de Gea asks to speak to Sky. “I want to take my responsibility today, I think I cost three points to my team. It was a poor performance from myself. After the mistake and the second, it was very tough for the team. It was a horrible day. Of course we should react better, but I should have saved the first shot, and probably the result would be different. Maybe I have to read the game better and kick it long, maybe I shouldn’t have played to Christian, I should read better today. We are not like teams who concede one goal but then win 5-1, 6-1. This is why I think I cost today three points. It was an easy save, and it was 1-0 for them, and I feel already that it was going down, down and down. Of course we have to react much better. It was a poor performance. It’s easy to play pre-season, you play for nothing, but when you play games that matter you need bravery, to be more consistent, and be proper players. In my case, it wasn’t the case today, and I need to keep working. Head up, and stick together as a team. We have a lot to learn from a new manager.”

He’s then asked if he has any idea how United turn this around. After a pause of nearly five seconds, he says “I’m not sure, to be honest … stick together, work hard and learn what the manager wants … let’s play for this badge, for the club, with our lives.”

No one wants to be there.

I bet even Ericksen looked longingly at the Brentford squad.

I take no joy in this btw. schadenfreude is usually ok by me but this lot just look lost.

the most damning part is when he says, we’re not the kind of team that goes down a goal and comes back to win. Yikes.
