Manchester United held on to beat Brentford 2-1 Old Trafford on Monday, nearly guaranteeing UEFA Champions League qualification in the process.
Bruno Fernandes recorded his 19th Premier League assist of the season, one off the record shared by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry, as Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko scored their ninth and 10th goals of the PL season in the win.

The Red Devils move into sole possession of third place with 61 points, three clear of Liverpool and Aston Villa with four matches left in the Premier League season.
Keith Andrews got a good performance from his Bees and a quality late goal from Mathias Jensen in the loss. Brentford stall in ninth place with 48 points.
Casemiro 11', Benjamin Sesko 43', Mathias Jensen 88'
The midfielder has been up for this all afternoon and now he's beaten a slightly-slow-to-react Senne Lammens with a delightful strike from outside the 18.
Reiss Nelson takes the place of Kevin Schade in the 73rd minute, while Shaw exits for Leny Yoro and ex-Brentford man Mbeumo is done in favor of Mason Mount.
A corner flicks to the back post and Dango Ouattara grounds the ball off the post!
His overhead bid to get the rebound catches Maguire and it looks like the former captain has joined Luke Shaw in picking up an injury on the play.
Shaw may be the more likely to come out of the game.
Diallo's day ends and Noussair Mazraoui will take his spot as the Red Devils seek to lock down all three points.
It says something that Amad Diallo and Igor Thiago could both have a brace but neither has a goal — weird, weird half.
Shots are 8-6 for the Red Devils, who have put five of their attempts on target and deserve to be ahead (though the two-goal gap is a bit of a surprise).
Amad Diallo starts a counter attack with a slide tackle and Bruno Fernandes leads a 3v2 break that seems to indicate an open Bryan Mbeumo on his right.
Fernandes, instead, keeps the ball and waits until the perfect time to give it to Sesko on his left. The striker avoids a sliding blocker and slots past Kelleher.
Igor Thiago is knocking on the door, denied once by himself, another time by Ayden Heaven, and third time by Senne Lammens.
Bees doing everything but scoring, and they trail 1-0 in the 39th minute.
Bruno Fernandes corner flies over most of the players and is headed back across goal by Maguire.
Casemiro cranes his neck from a tight angle, dodging a Michael Kayode challenge to nod through the arms of Kelleher.
