Manchester United has received widespread criticism for a dismal first half against Brentford in today’s early Premier League match.
The Red Devils are 2-1 down at the time of writing, with Benjamin Sesko equalising after the home team seized a two-goal lead inside the first 20 minutes.
You overestimate this United side at your peril. Going the way of the 4-0 in 2022 at this rate. Weak all over the pitch. Fernandes and Dalot arguing. #mufc

Below are some of his posts on X, where he criticises United for being “weak all over the pitch” and mentions Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot’s alleged argument.
