According to midfielder Scott McTominay – the author of a double in stoppage time to help Man Utd defeat Brentford in round 8 of the Premier League – affirmed that the home team never falters in the face of difficulties.

“We watched the game and thought it was really difficult,” McTominay said after the 2-1 win at Old Trafford. “It’s not easy to meet any club in the Premier League, especially well-organized teams. But you have to wait for the opportunity and choose the moments. And Man Utd’s mentality is never giving up”.

From Casemiro’s personal error, Man Utd was counterattacked and conceded a goal from Mathias Jensen’s shot in the penalty area in the 26th minute. That situation was maintained until the end of regular time before McTominay came on as a substitute. shine. In the third minute of injury, the Scottish midfielder controlled the opponent’s bad clearance and shot into the near corner to equalize the score 1-1.

In the seventh minute of stoppage time, from a free kick, midfielder Harry Maguire fought in the air and then passed to McTominay for the header, sealing a 2-1 victory for Man Utd.

McTominay considers scoring a double in stoppage time one of his favorite moments from the beginning of his career. “It’s hard to put into words because I’ve been with Man Utd all my life since I was five years old. For me, this team is everything. Last night I watched a documentary about David Beckham, and That seemed to inspire me. Sir Alex Ferguson always looks at his watch at times like this. It shows that you can always score at the last minute. It’s amazing”, the player 26 years old expressed.

When he was brought onto the field in the 87th minute, McTominay admitted he did not clearly hear what coach Ten Hag told him. “It was very noisy at that time. The fans around were screaming so I couldn’t hear everything. Maybe he said ‘Go ahead and score a goal.’

When asked about this at the press conference afterward, coach Ten Hag joked: ‘I told him to score two goals.’

McTominay joined the Man Utd youth team in 2002, then was promoted to the first team in 2017, scoring 21 goals in 215 matches in all competitions. When asked about the pressure of playing for Man Utd, the 26-year-old player replied: “Fans expect us to play well, score goals, and achieve good results, but we have to ignore such things. We must know that we can do better, and not naively think we are doing very well when in fact we are not. This is the time to move on and this win could be the catalyst to Man Utd move forward.”

McTominay became the first player to score a double after the 90th minute in the Premier League, since Tottenham beat Leicester 3-2 thanks to Steven Bergwijn’s double in the 5th and 7th minutes of injury time in January/February 22. McTominay’s last ten goals for Man Utd in the Premier League were all at Old Trafford – a longest home scoring streak only behind Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with 11 goals from March 1999 to April 2000.
