After a 2-1 loss to Brighton Hove & Albion last weekend, the Red Devils made the trip to London for their second Premier League fixture of the 2022-23 season. However, Ten Hag’s side were dismantled inside 35 minutes as the Bees scored four goals.
Josh Dasilva opened the scoring owing to a David de Gea error before Mathias Jensen doubled the lead with a well-placed shot from inside the box. Ben Mee piled on the pressure with a header at the half-hour mark before Bryan Mbuemo slotted in the fourth.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United players were involved in a dressing room row in the aftermath of the defeat against Graham Potter’s side. The report also added that the players were ‘quarreling’ but the identities of those involved are unclear at this point.
The cliques that proved to be the downfall of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season reportedly still exist within the squad. Furthermore, the presence of certain players like Cristiano Ronaldo, who are at the club against their will, is said to be affecting the morale in the dressing room.
The Portuguese cut a frustrated figure throughout the game. He even decided not to acknowledge the club’s traveling fans in the stands following the game.
The Red Devils will next lock horns with rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on August 22.
