‘Madness and anger’ fuelled Manchester United comeback win over Brentford
Matthijs de Ligt was off the pitch when Brentford scoredErik ten Hag believes injustice helped United respond
Erik ten Hag said Manchester United harnessed the “madness and anger” at the injustice of Matthijs de Ligt being ordered off due to a head injury before Brentford’s controversial opening goal to fuel a 2-1 second-half comeback victory at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Ethan Pinnock’s strike from a corner in added-time came with De Ligt receiving treatment, the third occasion he needed to be patched up. While he was off the pitch, Pinnock headed home, sparking protest from the defender, Ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy, with the manager and his assistant booked.
