Manchester United secured a 2–1 win over Brentford in the final fixture of Matchweek 34. Michael Carrick’s side have moved a step closer to the Champions League and could secure their place as early as next week.
First-half goals from Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko proved enough for the hosts at Old Trafford, despite a late long-range strike from Mathias Jensen.
The result keeps United third in the Premier League table, knowing that just two more points will mathematically secure a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.
Where do Manchester United & Brentford stand?
Manchester United remain third in the table with 61 points.
Brentford, who suffered their first defeat in seven matches, stay ninth on 48 points heading into the final month of the season.
What’s next?
Brentford host West Ham on May 2 (15:00).
All eyes now turn to Old Trafford for next Sunday’s blockbuster against arch-rivals Liverpool on May 3 (15:30).
