itemprop=description content=Two goals in stoppage time by the substitute secured a 2-1 win for the Red Devils.
Manchester United’s Scott McTominay is congratulated by team-mates after scoring the late winner against Brentford.
United offered precious little in response as Brentford headed into second-half stoppage time on course for a famous first win at Old Trafford since 1937.First the homegrown midfielder fired home a 93rd-minute equaliser and four minutes later headed home a scarcely believable winner to spark wild Old Trafford celebrations.
With five defenders injured and the defence unbalanced, Victor Lindelof was deployed at left-back and Harry Maguire made his first league start of the campaign alongside Jonny Evans. It was an all too familiar gut punch for United, who failed to muster a shot on target until Marcus Rashford wriggled free to test Premier League debutant Thomas Strakosha in the 37th minute.
Diogo Dalot hacked clear after a long Brentford throw-in was flicked on, but play was now nearly entirely focused at the other end.
