Who was Man of the Match against Brentford?

Great Scott! What a late win against Brentford.

United appeared down and out as we entered injury-time against the Bees, but thanks to Scott McTominay's late double, it was the Reds who were buzzing come the full-time whistle.

Erik ten Hag's side played out a difficult fixture against Thomas Frank's well-drilled team and thanks to Mathias Jensen's first-half finish, it looked as though it would be the visitors who would take home all three points.

The boss introduced the likes of Christian Eriksen, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho in the second half, but it was his final substitute who topped our fan poll.

McTominay initially drew United level by turning inside the box following a free-kick delivery before setting himself and finding the bottom corner.

That goal gave the Reds belief, and that swelled all around the stadium as United sensed a winner was on the cards.

Minutes later, Bruno Fernandes hoisted a cross to the back post. Harry Maguire nodded it down into the six-yard box and there was Scott, jogging on the spot, to head beyond Thomas Strakosha and prompt pandemonium.

Unsurprisingly, McTominay topped our fan poll with a landslide percentage.

No other United player came close, as you can see in the voting above.

McTominay, as a substitute, was tasked with making the difference off the bench and that is what he did.

Congratulations, Scott!
