Richard Keys and Andy Gray slam Man United for celebrating last minute win over Brentford

BeIN Sports pundits Richard Keys and Andy Gray have come out in criticism of Manchester United following their jubilant celebrations after beating Brentford.

Manchester United were 1-0 down heading into stoppage time at Old Trafford, and staring down the barrel of their third home defeat in a row.

However, substitute Scott McTominay volleyed home an equaliser in the third minute of added time and looked to have snatched United a draw - only for the Scot to head home the winner in the seventh minute of added time, sending Old Trafford into pure pandemonium.

Fans in the stadium went crazy, as a game that looked as though it would end in a defeat just five minutes prior, was now going United's way.

Following a torrid run of results, the Red Devils head into the international break with a home league win for the first time since August.

Some would presume this warrants celebration, but Keys and Gray do not think that at all, with Keys slamming their celebrations after the match.

"They got away with one there, Manchester United," he said on BeIN SPORTS.

Gray then continued: "That's been the nature of the season, back to the opening day at Wolves, when they just got over the line, back to when they beat Forest from two down, just got over the line, Brentford, just got over the line.

"These are not teams who are challenging for the title!"

Grays went on: "This is where United are! They're celebrating like this, beating Brentford 2-1 at home. I hope that is relief because that's what it should be.

"A team under Alex Ferguson doing that, Fergie would be relieved. He'd go in the dressing room and I bet he'd have a go at every one of them for just winning."

The victory leaves United in ninth place heading into the international break, but it is a win that will surely take some pressure off Ten Hag amid a growing injury list and a number of off-field issues involving Sancho and Antony.

United fans, meanwhile, will surely be more pleased with the manner of the win and spirit shown by players like McTominay, rather than the performance.
