Manchester United 2-1 Brentford: Premier League – as it happened

1 May, 2026

Manchester United 2-1 Brentford: Premier League – as it happened:

First-half goals from Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko took United to the cusp of Champions League qualification

It seems like Benjamin Sesko is now installed as United’s first-choice centre-forward – though full confirmation will come next weekend, when Liverpool visit Old Trafford, as in previous big games, Carrick has deployed Mbeumo through the middle.

Ultimately, though, the club spent all that money on Sesko because the plan is for him to be a regular, so really, they need to build around him, which means better delivery from wide areas; I wonder if we’ll see whoever plays on the left whip balls for him to the front post, though I also think there’s hay to be made with Mbeumo coming inside to swing those in to the back stick.
