Man Utd near Champions League

Manchester United moved to the brink of Champions League qualification with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brentford at Old Trafford.

Goals from Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko secured the three points, leaving the club needing only one more win to seal their return to Europe's elite.

Interim manager Michael Carrick praised the team's resilience but urged them not to 'over-celebrate' until the job is finished.

Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo delivered another standout performance, earning plaudits for his adaptability in a new tactical system.

The victory provides a significant boost to the club's summer transfer plans as they look to rebuild under new ownership.
