At the last minute, Manchester United staged a stunning comeback to defeat Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

Man United had little possession in the first few minutes of the match, preferring to press hard to put pressure on the opposition’s defense.

This strategy nearly paid off in the sixth minute when Marcus Rashford headed over the top of a corner that United forced.

Rasmus Hojlund fired in a dangerous pass from the left that was headed for a corner as United repeatedly launched counterattacks.

Regretfully, Mason Mount attempted two pointless corners, which the Brentford defense handled with ease.

The winger had a moment of skill, and Brentford goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha collected the ball to keep the visitors ahead.

Bruno Fernandes nearly tied the scoring with four minutes remaining in the first half when Wissa headed his fierce free kick out of play.

When Casemiro’s deflected header bounced to Hojlund on the stroke of halftime, United went closest to taking the lead, but Hojlund was eventually unable to make contact only inches from the goal line.

With the crowd losing patience with Ten Hag and his team, a dejected United marched down the tunnel behind 1-0 as the halftime siren sounded.

At the beginning of the second half, Christian Eriksen replaced Casemiro in a move that Ten Hag was hoping would invigorate United’s midfield.

This seemed to be a good move during the first few minutes of play, as Eriksen unleashed a powerful long-range strike that forced the Brentford goalkeeper into a last-ditch save.

Nine minutes after the interval, Dalot was forced to clear the ball near the goal line after it ricocheted off Christian Norgaard, giving Brentford a chance to double their lead.

Alejandro Garnacho took Marcus Rashford’s spot with just under 30 minutes remaining, and Mason Mount was replaced by Antony.

Ten Hag made his fifth and final change in the 86th minute, substituting Scott McTominay with Sofyan Amrabat.

Soon after, Martial’s backheel off Kristoffer Ajer gave United a late equalizer, but the goal was called offside.

After dribbling past two Brentford players and cutting the ball back to McTominay in the center, three minutes into stoppage time, the player finally gave his team a breakthrough when his shot reached the back of the net.

United refused to settle for a draw and kept pushing forward, almost scoring when Martial’s grounded attempt was stopped by Strakosha.

McTominay established himself as Ten Hag’s hero substitute moments before the final siren, when his header put United ahead.

Even if there were many things wrong with United’s play during the game, McTominay’s late brace gave Ten Hag’s team much to cheer about as their two-game losing streak in all competitions came to an end.
