Start of match

End of match

  • 93'
    FT: Man United 3-0 Brentford! A good victory for Man Utd in their final home game of the 2021/22 season. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the first half and second-half goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane secured the points.
  • 92'
    Toney takes out Fred with an over-zealous challenge inside the Manchester United half, perhaps ending the last chance of Brentford at least scoring a late goal.
  • 90'
    2 minutes added on!
  • 88'
    The ball breaks to Mathias Jensen on the edge of the United box. His shot takes a couple of deflections before passing safely through to David De Gea.
  • 86'
    The game is clearly winding down, with both sides dropping the tempo somewhat. Even if Brentford can score now, it would surely just be a consolation goal.
  • 85'
    Brentford have an eighth corner of the match, but are again unable to create anything substantial from the set-piece situation. Meanwhile, United have take two corners and scored from one.
  • 83'
    Fernandes has a speculative strike from 25 yards deflected wide for a corner, via Sorensen's head. Jones then nearly makes contact with the cross, but Brentford ultimately manage to clear their lines.
  • 81'
    McTominay sees a shot from the centre of the area saved comfortably in the bottom-left corner by Raya.
  • 80'
    Three goals have seen United well on their way to three points. With just under ten minutes remaining they'll be hoping to hold onto their clean sheet to cap off a perfect night in their final home match of the 2021/22 season.
  • 78'
    United counter-attack following a Brentford corner, but there is a distinct lack of urgency about the break, and they appear happy to cycle the ball around in midfield with the three points secured.

  • 60 '
    Cristiano Ronaldo gets goal side of Rico Henry who barges the Portuguese man to ground. Chris Kavanagh points straight to the spot.
  • 58'

Card

  • 54 '
    Nemanja Matic earns the games first booking for grabbing the shirt of Christian Eriksen.
  • 53'
    CLOSE! Under no pressure in midfield, Matic lofts a delicate throughball into the path of Fernandes, who takes a touch and fires narrowly wide of the left-hand post from the edge of the area. He perhaps should have done better from that position.
  • 50'
    After playing a give-and-go with Ronaldo, who is later judged just offside, Dalot charges into the box and forces Raya into a save which sees the ball loop up onto the crossbar and out of danger.
  • 48'
    Christian Eriksen plays a pinpoint ball into the box from a free-kick to the back post. He picks out Ivan Toney who tries to take the shot on first time but doesn't make good connection with the strike.
  • 47'
    A goal down today, Brentford have won one, drawn one and lost 12 times when trailing at half-time in the Premier League this season.
  • 46'
    We are back under way in Manchester!
  • 45'
    HT: Man United 1-0 Brentford! An energetic and purposeful display by Manchester United sees them deservedly lead at the interval, as they attempt to sign off a bleak season in front of their fans with a flourish. By contrast, Brentford have been a little off the pace so far, and could well have trailed by two - being saved by an offside ruling on Ronaldo just before half-time. Yet, the visitors have offered a threat, with Eriksen's delivery proving a frequent source of opportunities.
  • 45'
    VAR finds that Cristiano Ronaldo had stayed offside in the build-up to that goal and it remains 1-0.
  • 44 '
    GOAL for Man United! Juan Mata has been linking up well with Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo. He receives the ball from Fernandes and sets Ronaldo on his way who beats David Raya. There is a hint of offside about this so VAR will take a look.
  • 42'
    United may have the lead but Brentford have shown they can be a threat. The Bees are working the ball well in the final third and Bryan Mbeumo hit the side-netting with a shot a few moments ago. It's just the final ball that seems to be missing at the moment as Christian Eriksen swings a cross far too deep and out of play.
  • 38'
    Corner awarded to Man United.
  • 37'
    Mbeumo strikes the side-netting with a low drive from the right side of the area, having slipped away from Fernandes, who is back covering on the edge of the box.
  • 35'
    Foul on Bruno Fernandes.
  • 32'
    Lovely intricate link-up play between Juan Mata and Cristiano Ronaldo. They exchange passes and make their way into the Brentford box. The Portuguese man sets up a shooting chance for the Spaniard with a tidy back heel. Mata fires just wide from inside the box.
  • 30'
    Cristiano Ronaldo tracks back after giving the ball away and makes a well-timed sliding challenge to win the ball back. The United fans are a big fan of that with loud cheers for their number seven's efforts.
  • 28'
    Man Utd's passing at the back has been a tad sloppy. Diogo Dalot now overhits one back to David De Gea which goes behind for a corner. Christian Eriksen delivers from the right but a United head clears.
  • 26'
    Following an earlier claim by Elanga for a free-kick just outside the area, now Ronaldo has a penalty appeal rejected by the referee.
  • 24'
    After an elaborate build-up, Ronaldo fires in a low free-kick from around 30 yards out on the left, which Raya saves at the second attempt near the bottom-right corner of his goal.
  • 22'
    Evading Varane with a precision cross from the left, Eriksen finds the head of Toney, who is only able to turn the ball over the bar with his effort from near the penalty spot.
  • 17'
    A cross towards the back post from the right-hand side picks out Bryan Mbeumo. He climbs high but is unable to direct his header on target and test David De Gea.
  • 15'
    Man Utd have controlled possession since taking the lead. Christian Eriksen had tested David De Gea's handling with a shot from the edge of the box but the United 'keeper was equal to it.
  • 11'
    SAVE! The ball breaks to Eriksen on the edge of the box, and a player of his prowess needs no invitation to shoot - he puts his laces through a powerful effort towards the centre of the goal, but De Gea is well placed and saves it quite comfortably.
  • 9 '
    GOAL for Man United! A lovely finish from Bruno Fernandes gives Man Utd the lead. Anthony Elanga gets to the byline and delivers the ball into the six-yard box. Fernandes meets the ball on the volley and finds the back of the net with a side-footed finish.
  • 6'
    It's been a really positive start from the away side. They're getting the ball into dangerous areas and have won a couple of corners, the latest of which David De Gea has to punch clear off his own line.
  • 3'
    A slip in the area from Ronaldo, after he had chested down a high throughball from Dalot, denies the United striker a chance to get a shot off at goal from no more than 10 yards out.
  • 2'
    Right from the kick-off Brentford pump a long ball through to Bryan Mbeumo. Luckily for United their defence is switched on early and they prevent Mbeumo getting a shot away.
  • 1'
    We're underway at Old Trafford as the away side get the ball rolling.

    Ralf Rangnick: "It's really important for our fans, and ourselves, to finish this season on the best possible note and take that as a boost for the new season. It's a difficult game, we know Brentford are a very good team so we need to raise our level. We just need to win tonight and then get as many points as we can from the last two games. I don't see any problem with motivation"

    This is how the home side arrived at the stadium, will they be able to win with the support of their home crowd?
  • PRVW
    We're just under half an hour away from kick-off here at Old Trafford. A win for the Bees would see them go into the top half above Newcastle. Man Utd will be desperate to pick up their first three points after a winless run of three matches.
