Manchester United see off Brentford to close in on Champions League return

1 May, 2026

Manchester United see off Brentford to close in on Champions League return:

This swashbuckling victory moved Manchester United to within two points of Champions League qualification and is prima facie evidence of the job Michael Carrick has executed since his appointment as interim manager.

The performance is also a fair calling card for the permanent role as United bettered a doughty Brentford by simply being better.
