Gabby Agbonlahor demands APOLOGY from ‘useless’ Man Utd for gesture

GABBY AGBONLAHOR believes Manchester United fans are owed an apology after the players did a lap of honour after their 2-1 victory on Saturday.

Super-sub Scott McTominay scored both goals as the Red Devils completed an incredible injury-time comeback win over Brentford.

After 90 minutes had passed, the hosts were 1-0 down, and looked to be heading for a third straight home defeat.

Until McTominay - who was introduced with three minutes of normal time remaining - scored in the 93rd and 97th minute to rescue embarrassment for United.

The lap of honour and euphoric scenes that followed the final whistle were in stark contrast to what was being lined up for Erik ten Hag had the situation not changed so dramatically.

Many believe that the result cannot mask what was, for so long, another poor performance.

And former Aston Villa forward Agbonlahor has ripped into them for circling the stadium to celebrate with fans.

Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "Manchester United were absolutely useless.

"They were doing a lap of honour like they’d just won the Champions League!

“They should be apologising to the fans. They know it’s papering the cracks.”

They have suffered four defeats in their opening eight games, conceding 12 goals along the way.
