Manchester United came from the jaws of defeat to beat Brentford 2-1 with a dramatic comeback courtesy of Scott McTominay.
Manchester United looked defeat bound as Brentford fans chanted “you’re getting sacked in the morning” at Erik ten Hag, as we entered stoppage time.
However as fate goes, those fans were left embarrassed as two stoppage time goals from Scott McTominay ensured the losing streak ended and three points returned to Old Trafford.
After the huge win, Manchester United fans were voting for their man of the match, as one man ran away with the vote…
Man of the match v Brentford
Due to the way the game played out, there was only ever one winner for the vote. Scott McTominay wins the poll after his two stoppage time goals which turned defeat into a win for United.
The rest of the game was really disappointing from Manchester United which explains why the vote is so one-sided.
Here are the results from the Manchester United fans man of the match vote which took place across the club’s official website and app;
- Scott McTominay: 87 per cent
- Bruno Fernandes: 3 per cent
- Harry Maguire: 2 per cent
- Rasmus Hojlund: 2 per cent
- Sofyan Amrabat: 2 per cent
- All others had 1 per cent or less
A clear winner, and due to the importance of his contributions, we are surprised he didn’t get 100%. The other players listed were impressive too, primarily Harry Maguire and Sofyan Amrabat.
A no-contest though, as McTominay in the end won the game and gave everyone a huge lift at Old Trafford, which was much needed.
Ten Hag reacts to McTominay
After the game Erik ten Hag was full of praise for McTominay when speaking with Sky Sports:
“McTominay? Fabulous. When you come in with the end of the game near and you bring that mindset, that energy and that confidence, he fought for every meter, for every ball, and he was rewarded.
Concluding, Ten Hag said: “He is Man United in his heart. He is playing for the badge and he gives his life.”
