Brentford players simply outran their Manchester United's counterparts for Saturday's 4-0 win.

United were four goals down by half-time in west London, with two early errors by goalkeeper David de Gea.

United's players covered 95.6km during the 90 minutes compared to 109.4km covered by Brentford. Related to that are the sprint stats. Brentford's players made 90 bursts for the ball, United just 65.

And when it comes to applying pressure in the opponent's defensive third, United applied pressure just seven times.

By contrast, Brentford did so 21 times during the 90 minutes.

United now sit bottom of the Premier League table for the first time in 30 years.

Back in August 1992, Alex Ferguson's team lost 2-1 at Sheffield United on the opening weekend and were then beaten 3-0 at home by Everton in the following midweek.

That left them in 22nd position - the Premier League was larger in those days - and now the Reds prop up the table once again.
