Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia sent a strong message to Erik ten Hag following his side's heavy defeat to Brentford on Saturday.
Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo all found the back of the net in West London in what was a nightmare first half. The Bees took mercy on the Reds in the second 45 but the game was over as a contest by that stage.
United's defeat to Brentford left them rock bottom of the Premier League and with Liverpool coming up a week on Monday, the fixtures do not get any easier. Malacia would be introduced at half-time to replace Luke Shaw and speaking after the game, the 22-year-old sent a fierce message to his new manager.

When asked why he was a substitute against Brentford, Malacia told Viaplay: "You have to ask the trainer about that. It’s something between me and the trainer, we discuss that together.
"I’m fit. I don’t come here to sit on the bench.
"I always want to play, of course. When my time comes, I will definitely be there."
When asked about the result, the full back added: "Of course it is a difficult situation. We are building something, but it is not yet going the way we want it to go.
"There are a lot of new things, there is a new trainer. That takes time.
"The things we get from the trainer we try to implement. That does not always work, no.
"We all made a mistake today. We are one team.
"We have to move on as soon as possible."
