Scott McTominay closing in on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Manchester United record after late drama vs Brentford

Scott McTominay sent an emphatic message on Saturday after coming off the bench to score two added-time goals in Manchester United's 2-1 win at home to Brentford.

United welcomed Thomas Frank's side to Old Trafford off the back of their worst start to a season in 39 years, having lost six of their opening 10 matches across all competitions. Pressure was already building on Erik ten Hag who needed to arrest the slump with three points.

United got off to a poor start and went 1-0 down inside 26 minutes, Mathias Jensen capitalising on a string of errors from the home side. Casemiro's slack pass gave the ball away in midfield, with Victor Lindelof's poor clearance falling to the midfielder whose effort sneaked in under Andre Onana.

Ten Hag's side huffed and puffed but looked set to fall to another defeat until McTominay, who only came on in the 87th minute, equalised with a driven effort. United then rallied to earn a dramatic winner when the Scotland international headed in after Harry Maguire's knockdown, sending Old Trafford into rapture.

McTominay has made a habit of scoring at Old Trafford, with his last 10 Premier League goals for United coming in front of his own fans. That's a run beaten only by former striker turned manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian scored 11 straight goals in front of the Old Trafford crowd in the league between March 1999 and April 2000, a period in which he also scored a pretty important goal in Barcelona during the Champions League final.

Victory on Saturday pushed United up to 10th in the Premier League table, but more importantly improved
