Man Utd 2 Brentford 1: McTominay the hero as he comes off bench to score twice and relieve pressure on Ten Hag.
IT was hardly Barcelona 99, but for Erik ten Hag’s under-fire Red Devils, it certainly felt like it.
Stoppage time, one goal down, and a third home league defeat on the bounce staring them in the face.
Step forward Scott McTominay like some kind of modern-day Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, to climb from the bench with two save-the-day strikes.
Goalscoring heroes don’t come unlikelier than the Scottish midfielder, for all he has been finding the net with some regularity for his country.
He was only chucked on, in increasing desperation, with three of the regulation 90 minutes to go.
Seven minutes later he was buckling under the joyous and jumping celebrations of his team-mates. Pulling it out of the fire doesn’t come more dramatic than this.
Actually, with United, we all know it does. It was clearly not in the same bracket as that “Solskjaer has won it” treble-winning Champions League final stab 24 years ago.
Not in terms of silverware, standing or status, at least. It was Brentford, not Bayern Munich, after all.
Yet when you have sunk as deep into the you-know-what as United, somehow yesterday it felt like it.
Ten Hag doesn’t need telling what lay in wait should Brentford have clung onto a lead given them by Mathias Jensen before the Red Devils had even managed a shot on target.
His job may not exactly have been on the line, but questions would have been murmured, if not yet bellowed.
