Scott McTominay entered the game late on for Manchester United and bagged a brace, with both goals coming in stoppage time, to sink Brentford and give his side a 2-1 win.
Premier League losses at home to Brighton and Crystal Palace led to intense scrutiny and pressure that had increased further after Tuesday’s chastening Champions League defeat to Galatasaray.
Players wore black armband and flags flew at half-mast on a day that both teams began with intent that they struggled to turn into clear-cut chances. Slack Casemiro gave away possession around the centre circle and failed to win it back, with Lindelof then failing to effectively deal with Yoane Wissa’s low ball into the box.
Boos greeted the half-time whistle and Ten Hag replaced underperforming Casemiro with former Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen at the break.
