Brentford draw 1-1 with Man UtdMaupay clashes with McTominayBees striker trolls United midfielderWHAT HAPPENED?
The Bees rescued a point against United on Saturday after Kristoffer Ajer cancelled out Mason Mount's second-half stoppage time opener. During the contest, where manager Thomas Frank said he almost "lost faith" in football as his side nearly lost despite dominating the game, Everton loanee Maupay and Scottish international McTominay tussled with one another. After the match, the former Brighton forward poked fun at the 27-year-old on social media.

The Frenchman took to X, formerly Twitter, to post a photo of McTominay clashing with himself at Gtech Community Stadium and captioned it: "This fan was desperate for my shirt 😂."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The point pushed Brentford closer to Premier League safety but the result was a huge blow for United and their outside chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Both fourth-placed Aston Villa and fifth-positioned Tottenham won on Saturday but Erik ten Hag's men are now 11 points behind the Villans and are eight adrift of Spurs. Moreover, this result heaps more pressure on Ten Hag's Old Trafford future.

Next up for 15th-placed Brentford is another home clash, this time against Europe-chasing Brighton on Wednesday. Sixth-placed United, on the other hand, travel to mid-table Chelsea the day after at Stamford Bridge.
