Luke Littler fires back at Neal Maupay’s trolling of Scott McTominay in the latest sh*thouse move after Brentford and Man Utd’s 1-1 draw.
The Bees put up a strong performance against United, with Mason Mount scoring a late goal in stoppage-time that looked to have secured the win for the Red Devils.
However, Kristoffer Ajer’s quick equaliser ensured Brentford walked away with a point in a thrilling 1-1 draw.
McTominay, like his teammates, would have been disappointed to miss out on the victory. But Maupay’s Twitter post the morning after the match seemed to add insult to injury.
He posted a photo of McTominay grabbing onto him and with a laughing emoji, said: “This fan was desperate for my shirt.”

Maupay’s taunting has been evident throughout the season, as he has once again demonstrated during his recent encounters.
After his goal against Tottenham, he mimicked James Maddison’s goal celebration, pretending to throw dart, provoking the midfielder to retaliate.
At the time, Luke Littler made his feelings known on the spat between James Maddison and Neal Maupay.
Maddison spoke to the media after the game and said: “I just said to him, he hasn’t scored enough goals of his own in the last few years to have his own celebration, so he had to copy mine. Short story, ended well for us.”
After the game, Maddison took to social media to share photos of him and Maupay with the caption: “A short story…”
Littler, the 17 year old who reached the final of the World Darts Championship and won the Bahrain Darts Masters responded in the comments: “Yes sirrrr”, with a shush emoji for Maupay.
Maupay uploaded his own picture to Instagram of the celebration and joked: “Went a bit early with that one.
“Gutted we couldnāt get the win. More goals and less relegations in my career than James Maddison. We go again Monday bees!”
Additionally, he engaged in a confrontation with West Ham coach Kevin Nolan, laughing in his direction prior to the second half of Brentford’s 4-2 loss.
But now Maupay has taken aim at McTominay, after the two grappled each other, resulting in both receiving yellow cards.

Brentford’s Kristoffer Ajer cancelled out what Mason Mount thought was the winner for Man Utd in stoppage-time; and wins for Aston Villa and Tottenham mean Man Utd are now eight points adrift of fifth place in the Premier League table after riding their luck to claim a draw.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag to Sky Sports:
“If you are winning you shouldn’t give it away. We are a strong side and strong in certain situations and we have to get it over the line. That bit is disappointing.
“We made certain mistakes. We should act differently in a different occasion. The equaliser was absolutely unnecessary. Maybe we didn’t deserve it, I thought Brentford wanted more in the whole course of the game.
“In the final third, we were not secure. We were slow. Second balls, defending, we were not good. They were more aggressive. They had more energy and it should be the other way around.
“I’m experienced, even when we don’t play well, we win the game. It was almost. That’s what disappointing the most.
“I know always after international break, there will always be this, the players are out of the rhythm, they are in different situations. When we don’t play so good, we have to win. We almost won.
“We have many senior players, we should all stand up and take responsibility for this.
“From January on, we are very consistent with our performances.
“We will keep fighting, it could be a good point in the end. “
Brentford manager Thomas Frank to Sky Sports:
“There should only be one winner in that game, it can only be us. We went 1-0 down after 96 minutes and you’re thinking football is brutal, I almost lost faith in the football gods. At least he gave us a little bit back.
“What a performance, honestly what a performance. We are facing Man Utd, a fully strength Manchester United. Our first-choice defence out, our No 6 is out and we completely dominated the game.
“We are a team with a tricky run and we played unbelievable. We went 1-0 down on 96 minutes and then came back on 99 minutes? These players deserve so much credit, they are an unbelievable group to work with.
“Someone told me we had 31 shots, the most we ever had in a Premier League game? How we didn’t win that was unbelievable.
“There are so many fantastic characters in this team, people standing up when we need them. People coming in and roles, it was fantastic.
“That [the finishing] is disappointing but it dropped for the right players you wanted to drop for. Unfortunately that’s football.
“It’s football, I’m very happy with the performance. It’s actually what we’ve been seeing for a quite a long period, but this was the perfect performance. We have to keep going and go again on Wednesday.”
