Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory over Brentford in an entertaining Premier League encounter at Old Trafford on Monday night.
The Red Devils now need just two more points to secure a Champions League return.
First-half goals from Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko were enough for United to win as Brentford only halved the deficit late on.
Casemiro nodded home from an acute angle in the 11th minute after Harry Maguire had guided a header to the far post.
Bruno Fernandes then claimed his 19th assist of the season as he teed up Sesko three minutes before the break.
The result is a blow to Brentford’s hopes of securing European qualification for the first time and extends their winless run to seven in all competitions.
