‘This is where Manchester United are’ – Football presenter slams Manchester United for overwhelming celebration in Brentford win

beINSPORTS presenter Andy Gray has slammed Manchester United for their overwhelming celebration in the win over Brentford at Old Trafford.

Gray feels celebrating a win over a team that is not a direct rival would not have been tolerated by legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Speaking on beINSPORTS, he said: “That (getting away with one) has 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, Brentford – just got over the line.

“These are not teams challenging for the title. These are teams at the other end of the table.

“This is where United are. They’re celebrating like this (after) beating Brentford 2-1 at home. I hope that is relief more than anything. I hope it’s relief because that is what it should be.

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

United looked set for a third consecutive home defeat when Mathias Jensen put the Bees ahead inside 26 minutes, but substitute Scott McTominay struck a brace in injury-time to win the game and ease the pressure on United boss Erik Ten Hag.
