For me, this football club means everything. I was watching David Beckham\u2019s documentary last night and it\u2019s things like that that inspire. [Sir Alex] was always looking at his watch like that. It just shows today you can score a last-minute winner. It\u2019s brilliant.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>McTominay revealed that he could not hear what manager Erik ten Hag told him on the touchline when he came on in the 87th minute. \u2018It was very loud,\u2019 he said. \u2018The fans were roaring us on so I couldn\u2019t hear fully. He probably said something like \u201cGo on and score\u201d which is what I did.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/07\/21\/76286359-12605991-image-a-13_1696711053680.jpg\" height=\"462\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Scott McTominay netted an excellent brace late on to give Manchester United a comeback win<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/07\/22\/76286357-12605991-The_first_of_McTominay_s_goals_was_an_smartly_take_half_volley_i-a-90_1696713430437.jpg\" height=\"377\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The first of McTominay&#8217;s goals was an smartly take half volley in the 93rd minute of the game<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>When this was put to Ten Hag afterwards, the Dutchman joked: \u2018I said score two goals!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>McTominay could have left his boyhood club in the summer when United were prepared to cash in on the Scotland midfielder if the right offer had come in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When there is the right price then every player has a price but he has a big value, sporting and also economic,\u2019 said Ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I want to have a player like Scott McTominay in the squad. He is Man United in every way. Every minute he will fight for the match.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>United were heading for their third home defeat in a week until McTominay struck twice in seven minutes of added time.<\/p>\n<p>It transformed the mood inside Old Trafford and Ten Hag can now go into the international break with a little breathing space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/07\/22\/76286365-12605991-United_bounced_back_from_their_midweek_loss_to_Galatasaray_in_th-a-91_1696713430960.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>United bounced back from their midweek loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/07\/22\/76284875-12605991-Manager_Erik_ten_Hag_was_pleased_with_his_side_s_ability_to_show-m-93_1696714062989.jpg\" height=\"446\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Manager Erik ten Hag was pleased with his side&#8217;s ability to show strong grit and determination\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018On the line you don\u2019t have time to be in doubt, you have to think until the last minute how you can turn this,\u2019 he said. \u2018These games give fuel to the dressing room.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But there will still be concerns that United were so poor for large parts of the match after they fell behind to Mathias Jensen\u2019s first-half strike.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag added: \u2018The players know how far they have to go to get results. It can\u2019t be easy going. In football it is eat or get eaten. Too many times in the first half of this season we got eaten by opponents who are more hungry. This can\u2019t be.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Brentford boss Thomas Frank said: \u2018Football is brutal in moments like this.
