Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says the club "needs quality players" after conceding the standard of the squad is not good enough.
United were thumped 4-0 at Brentford - conceding four in the first 35 minutes - and have no points after two Premier League games.
Dutchman Ten Hag, who took over at Old Trafford in May, told Sky Sports the situation is a "difficult process".
"We have to provide higher standards than what we did today," he said.
"We are, as a team, in a difficult process. You expect a different start. It's not what we expected.
"We need new players. We need quality players. We are working on that and we'll do everything to convince them to come."
