Manchester United welcomed Brentford at Old Trafford earlier today as they hoped to earn a good result at home in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a sloppy start to the contest as they conceded the opening goal in the 26th minute when Mathias Jensen found the back of the net for the visitors. Erik ten Hag failed to find a response and went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Man United struggled to break the opposition down in the second half but managed to score the equaliser in injury-time thanks to Scott McTominay’s effort. McTominay ended up netting a dramatic late winner with a great header as the contest finished 2-1 in favour of the Red Devils.
