young acer tree leaves turning brown at the top

The leaves of this 2 year old acer tree have turned brown at the top and one branch lower down has shrivelled up (as you can see from the photo) The leaves lower down look healthier. When I bought the tree the foliage looked bright green all over but since planting it has turned a lot darker. I'm wondering whether to reposition it at the back of the house early next spring (where there is less direct sunlight) to see if that helps .However I'm unsure whether this is a sunlight related problem or something else, do do with soil,fungus or pests. Can anybody advise me?
