Scott McTominay secures extra special win for Manchester United over Brentford

Substitute Scott McTominay snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as he struck twice in stoppage time to clinch a 2-1 win for Manchester United over Brentford at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United's defensive frailties were exposed in the 26th minute when Casemiro gave the ball away and makeshift left back Victor Lindelof failed to clear, allowing Mathias Jensen to slot the ball under the body of keeper Andre Onana, who made another error with a shot he should have saved comfortably.

United, beaten twice at home in the last week, created plenty of opportunities in the second half, but put precious few on target until McTominay rattled home the equaliser after a goalmouth scramble in the 93rd minute.

The Scot netted again in the seventh minute of stoppage time to seal all three points to help his side climb to ninth in the table on 12 points.

Erik ten Hag's struggling team looked set to lose a third straight game after Jensen's first-half goal. But McTominay came off the bench to save the day. Ten Hag joined in the celebrations on the sidelines to reveal his own relief after avoiding another setback.

United were on the brink of losing for a seventh time in 11 games in all competitions in a troubled season.

United's saviour McTominay was pleased to have played a role in a crucial win for the club during difficult times.

"That might be one of my favourite moments on a football pitch. Two goals at the death was incredible, but I am just happy to be able to contribute," he said.

"Everyone knows we are in a difficult period at the minute,
