Peter Schmeichel has hit out at one Manchester United defender for his part in Brentford's late equaliser.
Erik ten Hag's side drew 1-1 with the Bees at the Gtech Community Stadium after Kristoffer Ajer cancelled out Mason Mount's opener.
United, who were under the cosh for most of the clash in west London, were criticised for their performance as Brentford hit the woodwork four times across the 90 minutes.
One man in particular who failed to impress Schmeichel was Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who was given a 7.5 in his player rating by WhoScored.com.
“Ivan Toney would have been offside had he followed the back-four line up and then that goal wouldn’t have happened," began the ex-Denmark international.

“Look at him [Wan-Bissaka] coming out! Look at it!
“That’s not Manchester United, that’s not pride, that’s not high standards. That’s not focussing on what your job is.
“He has cost – not to blame him for this – but in that moment, because of what he did, or didn’t do, a simple thing like concentrating, they equalised.”

With Chelsea and Liverpool to come in Man Utd's next two Premier League outings, Ten Hag's side have something of a mountain still to climb in terms of a potential top-four finish.
Both Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur recorded vital wins this weekend and Schmeichel wasn't best pleased with his former sides showing.
“Mason Mount came on, he’s hardly done anything for Manchester United since he arrived at the club, and so many times we’ve seen in Manchester United’s history, somebody turns out and becomes a hero,” Schmeichel said on SuperSport.
“You think that’s one of those moments but in all fairness, that would have been so undeserved had that stood as a 1-0 win.
“It comes down to a lot of things. You look at the stats, touches in the opposition box, but I’m looking at how much the team work, how much they run.

“Brentford ran five kilometres more and I think that tells a very big story about what this game was all about. They wanted to chase every ball."
