Overview
- Manchester United, which beat Brentford 2-1 on Monday at Old Trafford, now need two more points to lock in a top‑five finish and Champions League qualification.
- Casemiro headed in from a set piece for his ninth league goal before Benjamin Sesko made it 2-0 with his 10th after Bruno Fernandes’s 19th assist of the season.
- Harry Maguire returned from suspension to start, Matheus Cunha was ruled out with a hip‑flexor issue so Amad Diallo came in, and Lisandro Martinez remained suspended.
