NEAL MAUPAY was on a wind up yet again on Sunday as he labelled Scott McTominay a “fan” after an altercation with the Manchester United midfielder.
The French striker, 27, came off the bench in the 86th minute of Brentford’s dramatic 1-1 draw with the Red Devils on Saturday night.

Maupay has defended his reputation as a wind up merchant
And while he was only on the pitch for the final stages of the game, he still managed to earn himself a booking.
Maupay became embroiled in a wrestling match with McTominay, 27, who ended up nearly pulling the ex-Brighton man’s shirt over his head.
Both were cautioned for the incident – which occurred in the 12th minute of added time after the two late goals.
But Maupay, who has a reputation for winding up opposition players, did not leave it there as he took to social media.
The Brentford attacker shared a picture of McTominay pulling his shirt as he attempted to throw him off.
And he added the caption: “This fan was desperate for my shirt 😂.”

Yellow card for both Maupay and McTominay
It happened barely two months after Maupay’s darts celebration infuriated James Maddison of Tottenham.
Yet despite his relentless teasing, Maupay defended his actions in February – while also labelling himself the “most disliked player”.
He told The Times: “People say footballers are boring, then all of a sudden a player does this and everyone goes, ‘Why, Neal?’ ‘He’s the most disliked player.’ Blah blah blah.
“For me, football is a game, it’s entertainment.
“I’m just having fun and, on the pitch, I’m trying to do everything to win.
“If I can say something that puts you off or makes you overthink and make a mistake, I’ll do it.
“People don’t realise how much tension and emotion is involved at the highest level.
“I think it works quite well and if I can get a reaction, great.”
