Ten Hag's words after Manchester United's agonizing victory against Brentford

Manchester United saw victory in the match against Brentford from afar, but finally, in a miraculous way, the team managed to rescue a vital victory for their aspirations in the current season. Erik ten Hag's men were not having the best of starts, but after their last match in the UEFA Champions League, things seemed to be going downhill. However, McTominay took a substantial victory to keep the team alive in the current season.

At times it may seem that this Manchester United has no solution. The first half of the duel against Brentford is an example. A goal from Jensen made the difference at Old Trafford... in favor of the visitors. Nothing works for the Ten Hag team. An error by Casemiro led to a counterattack by Thomas Frank's team and Onana, who was signaled, could do little to save the 0-1 scoreline.

The tying goal did not arrive and Strakosha became huge in the visitors' goal. But then Scott McTominay showed up. With United overturned, the Scot became the king of the area and won all the crosses or dead balls: a goal canceled due to clear offside... and two goals that did count. A miraculous comeback with the signing of the Manchester United midfielder.

What Ten Hag said after the victory

"These games give fuel to the locker room. In football, it is eat or be eaten. Many times in the first half of this season we were eaten by opponents who were hungrier. This cannot be. Each player has to give everything in each second he's on the field," Ten Hag said at a press conference. After this victory, Manchester United has 12 points in the standings, while Brentford has 7 points. Now, Ten Hag must work to continue growing and scoring points this season. He will have enough time because most of his stars will go with their national teams at next year's FIFA International Break.
