Brentford striker Neal Maupay has aimed a tongue-in-cheek dig at Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.. United were held in the capital after Mason Mount’s first goal for the club was cancelled out by a late equaliser from Kristoffer Ajer. Erik ten Hag’s side took an unlikely lead in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time when the former Chelsea midfielder finished with aplomb.. However, moments later, Ivan Toney’s cutback was finished by Danish defender Ajer. Throughout the contest, United were under sustained pressure with Toney hitting the post and forcing Andre Onana into a reflex save, while Byran Mbuemo rattled the crossbar after the Bees had 31 shots on goal..
