Andre Onana has shared his excitement after Manchester United produced a late comeback to beat Brentford at Old Trafford and end a run of three home defeats.

The Cameroonian shot-stopper has endured a tough start to his career at the English club, conceding another easy goal as United went down in the first-half of the game.

However, second-half substitute Scot McTominay scored twice in injury time to earn Manchester United an important win in the Premier League.

"It has not been the start to the season that we wanted. Very, very important victory, worth more than three points. We are Manchester United,' he wrote on social media after the match.

Mathias Jensen scored after a series of mistakes which involved Brazilian midfielder Casemiro and defender Victor Lindelof, before Onana's attempt to keep the ball out saw him miss by inches.

Manager Erik ten Hag replaced Casemiro with Christian Eriksen before bringing on McTominay for Sofyan Amrabat with three minutes remaining.

The changes inspired a spirited fightback as the Scottish midfielder scored twice in three extra-time minutes, as reported by Sky Sports.

Andre Onana concedes again in Man United game

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Andre Onana's nightmarish start to his career at Manchester United continues after conceding another easy goal as Brentford take an early lead in the Premier League game at Old Trafford.

The Cameroonian shot-stopper in an attempt to parry Mathias Jensen's curler saw the ball pass right beneath his arm.

Onana's who joined the Red Devils in the summer transfer window, has come under intense pressure following his failure to meet expectations.

Harry Marguire celebrates Man United win

Harry Maguire is pumped after helping Manchester United to a comeback victory over Brentford in front of the United faithful at Old Trafford.

Maguire got the opportunity of a rare start after injuries rocked United's defence, with Raphael Varane ruled out due to a minor issue after a long-term injury to Lisandro Martinez.

The embattled defender hardly put any foot wrong in defence. Per ESPN, he completed 90% of his passes, won 100% of his aerial duel and made two interceptions.
