MANCHESTER UNITED’S clash with Brentford erupted into huge controversy over the visitors’ opening goal on the stroke of half-time.

United’s bloodied defender Matthijs de Ligt was forced to leave the pitch by the referee as he prepared to defend a corner – from which Ethan Pinnock powered home a header.

The Red Devils were furious – with Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag shown the yellow card for his protests.

De Ligt had first gone off for medical attention to a head cut on the brink of first-half stoppage time.

And the Dutchman still appeared to be bleeding when he returned.

Four minutes later he was told to leave the pitch for more attention.

And a major row blew up when Brentford scored while the Dutchman was on the sidelines.
