Summary of Brentford's victory 0:4 over Manchester United (Sport 1)

Even in their darkest dreams, it is doubtful that Manchester United imagined such a bad start to the season.

In the kingdom, they are trying to analyze what is not working, and now there is already a consensus: the problem does not start with Cristiano Ronaldo or Eric ten Haag, but is systemic and much bigger.

Former player Gary Neville reviewed all the deals made by the Red Devils in recent years, and came to some pretty conclusive conclusions.

"One of United's problems in the last ten years is that they keep changing coaches and strategies, it's a huge problem," he said.

"We analyzed all their transactions over the last 10 years and found they spent £1.25 billion.

75 percent of the procurement players did not manage, only 4-5 percent worked.

It's appalling." The successful transfers, for him, were Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bruno Fernandes, while Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Harry Maguire, Fred, Nemanja Matic, Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera received a reasonable grade.

Neville doesn't necessarily put the blame on the players themselves: "I know that's what people want, and we really did it a lot. I was excited about a lot of the signings, even last year with Sancho, Ran and Ronaldo - great signings. When Di Maria arrived, we thought, 'This It will be a big signing'. But it's simply a graveyard for footballers, this club. Players in general are debating whether it's worth it for them to come here. It's impossible to bring players here."

As far as the former player is concerned, Erik ten Haah is also not to blame for the bad start to the season: "There is no doubt that he is a fantastic coach, he proved it in the previous years. But he was dealt a bad hand. The fact that he did not get the players he wanted in the pre-season is amazing to me. United will overcome the wave This will end the season, but perhaps the most difficult period awaits her since the club was relegated 40 years ago."
