Man United almost got away with daylight robbery but a 99th-minute equaliser secured a deserved draw for Brentford.
Erik ten Hag is not usually prone to exuberant celebrations but clenched both fists and applauded. It was for Andre Onana's double save. He had more to celebrate in added time.
The question is does this United squad have it in them to capitalise on any openings? The answer is no. This was additional evidence to file with the first seven months of the season. They ought to have steeled themselves for that disadvantage yet there was a defeatist air about their performance. That cannot be blamed on the air miles their internationals have clocked up when nearly half of their matchday squad stayed at home.
There were only three survivors from the starting XI that found themselves 4-0 down at the pause at Brentford 19 months ago. The only encouraging progress for United was they did not trail Brentford by the same margin at the interval.
