THE LATE LATE SHOW from Scott McTominay spared Erik ten Hag’s blushes as Man United came out on top against Brentford.
McTominay came off the bench to cancel out Mathias Jensen’s first half goal with two of his own in added time.
And here are the United players rated in a game that could prove pivotal in their season.
ANDRE ONANA -2
How on earth did Inter Milan get to the Champions League final with this bloke in nets? Another error as he let a shot slide through his hand
DIOGO DALOT – 6
Did well to stop Brentford from getting a second when he sensed danger and retreated to the goalline to whack Christian Norgaard’s header clear.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 6
Credit to the former captain for being fit, ready and available after the way he has been treated. Solid enough performance. 6.

JONNY EVANS – 7
The Northern Irishman showed no rustiness in his first start back at United when he was man of the match at Burnley and looked similarly assured here. It was his first start at Old Trafford since February 2015.
VICTOR LINDELOF – 5
Asked to play at right back as the back four was reshuffled. Gave the final ball away for Brentford’s goal and finally subbed as United went chasing an equaliser.
CASEMIRO – 2
There is one thing for having belief in your own ability, but in Casemiro’s case this season it has led to him being far too sloppy. Gave the ball away twice for Brentford’s goal. Hooked at half-time.
SOFYAN AMRABAT- 4
Shifted out of the left-back position which he clearly cannot play in. Mind you he was hardly a world beater in midfielder on this occasion.

BRUNO FERNANDES – 6
Never as effective on the right as he is in the middle but always wanting and using the ball. Had a good effort well saved in the second-half.
MASON MOUNT – 5
What does he do, where does he play, why did they buy him? The questions were swirling round again after another underwhelming performance.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 4
His place was in doubt for this game. That player who scored 30 goals last season needs to be found again. Subbed for the third game running.
RASMUS HOJLUND – 6
The Dane’s double against Galatasaray showed that if you give him the chances he will take them. Unfortunately, hardly any are being created for him.
SUBS
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN (for Casemiro 45): On to try and add a bit more creation but it didn’t happen. 5.
ANTONY (for Mount 62): Brought on to give an injection of pace and trickery but apart from a customary cut in and shot wide there was little. 5.
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (for Rashford 62): Usually makes an impression late in games. Not on this occasion. 5.
ANTHONY MARTIAL (for Lindelof 71): Asked to change the game. Not surprisingly he didn’t. His slight touch in an offside position initially denied McTominay before the equaliser came. 5.
SCOTT MCTOMINAY (for Amrabat 87): Unbelievable! Came on late and gave the team an extra push. Grabbed two goals in injury time for. another incredible Old Trafford late show. 9.
