Manchester United player ratings as Scott McTominay brilliant and Casemiro poor vs Brentford
Scott McTominay scored two dramatic stoppage time goals to spare Manchester United from another embarrassing defeat.
Mathias Jensen gave the visitors the lead in the first half, with United's makeshift defence failing to deal with the threat. Goalkeeper Andre Onana should have done better but could only get a weak hand to the ball. Casemiro was brought off at half time for Christian Eriksen but United struggled to get back in the game after the pause. Scott McTominay thought he had scored a late equaliser but the goal was ruled offside.
The game then took an incredible return with McTominay scoring twice in stoppage time to give United the three points. The Manchester Evening News' chief United writer, Samuel Luckhurst, was in the pressbox to cover the match and here are his player ratings.

Andre Onana
Another error for the error-prone goalkeeper. Almost as bad is Onana resorted to hoofing the ball when he was bought to transform United's playing style. Made some simple saves in the second half. 4
Diogo Dalot
Did not do enough in the final third, despite United's ample possession of the ball, even though he had the benefit of playing at right-back. His late shot was parried and turned in by Scott McTominay. 5
Jonny Evans
A respectable return to the United starting XI at Old Trafford for the first time since February 2015. No teammate had his composure on the ball. 6
Harry Maguire
Rusty on his first league start since May with and without the ball in the first half but did not have as taxing a second half. Got late assist to help United win the game. 7
Victor Lindelof
Out of position and out of
