The Digest:

Manchester United moved within touching distance of qualifying for the Champions League as Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko sealed a 2-1 win against Brentford at Old Trafford. Casemiro put United ahead early before Sesko doubled the lead before halftime. Mathias Jensen's late strike couldn't stop United from cementing their grip on third place. They need just two points from their last four matches to secure a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.

Key Points:
  • United are 11 points clear of sixth-placed Brighton with four games left.
  • Casemiro scored his fourth goal in six games and kissed the badge amid "one more year" chants.
  • Bruno Fernandes now has 19 assists this season, chasing the Premier League record.
  • Interim boss Michael Carrick is still waiting to learn if he will get the job permanently.
  • United host bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday in a crucial top-four clash.
United's Champions League return is nearly secured after two years away.
