Neal Maupay aims 'desperate' dig at Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay

Brentford striker Neal Maupay has aimed a tongue-in-cheek dig at Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

The two sides settled for a point but the game wasn't shy of flashpoints. Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof both withdrew in the second-half through injury as United's casualty list mounts.

Late on, Maupay and McTominay were involved in an altercation off the ball as Brentford looked to make a late attack. Simon Hooper booked both players for their involvement in the incident and the outspoken Frenchman couldn't resit a jibe at the Scotland international.

He posted on Instagram: "This fan was desperate for my shirt," in the latest spat involving the Everton loanee.

It isn't the first time that Maupay has been the centre of a talking point, he sparked a confrontation against Tottenham Hotspur after mimicking James Maddison's celebration following his goal in North London. There was also an incident with Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker, which saw
