United can't afford to waste this moment of Mcmagic!

FOR those fortunate enough to be inside Old Trafford on Saturday, the noise when Scott McTominay's 97th-minute header hit the back of the net will live long in the memory

There have clearly been more important goals scored by United at home, but for regulars at the Theatre of Dreams it was hard to recall an explosion of noise to match the moment this astonishing late recovery was capped.

From a goal down to the Bees heading into the third minute of stoppage time, Erik ten Hag's team came away with an invaluable three points.

On the pitch, Andre Onana raced forward to join in with his teammates' celebrations in front of the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, while Diogo Dalot sank to his knees on the edge of the penalty area and thumped the turf in 6 delight.

On the touchline, Ten Hag punched the air and back danced and forth in his technical area.

Those scenes told you a lot about just how this important win was, but it was the noise that really hit it home.

This wasn't the millisecond roar of a goal being scored. This was a sustained visceral, guttural roar. It wasn't just delight at winning a game late on, it was 73,000 people letting out a scream of relief.
