„Manchester United“ started the English „Premier“ league season with two unexpected defeats against „Brighton“ and „Brentford“ teams. Against the latter team, the „Red Devils“ experienced total humiliation, as „Brentford“ was already leading 4:0 after the first half. After the match, „Man Utd“ coach Erik ten Hag decided to punish his players with a rather unusual punishment. It is reported that during training, the Dutchman ordered the players to run 8.5 miles, which is exactly how much less his team ran in the match against „Brentford“. It is reported that this decision caused dissatisfaction among the players, but it was calmed down immediately after E. ten Hag himself prepared for the run, taking responsibility for the defeat as well. It seems that such methods have paid off, as the „Red Devils“ defeated the „Liverpool“ players at home on Monday with a score of 2:1.
