End of match

  • 94'
    FT: Brentford 1-3 Man United! All over in London and it's a comfortable win for Man Utd in the end, after they had struggled in the first half. Second half goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford lifted them past the Bees, for whom Ivan Toney scored a late consolation.
  • 92'
    A real chance in added tome for Bruno Fernandes to get on the scoresheet and net United's fourth, but he chips the ball harmlessly into Lossl's hands when clean through.
  • 90'
    Foul by Victor Lindelof on Ivan Toney.

  • 85'
    GOAL for Brentford! A consolation for Brentford and they deserve it on balance. Ivan Toney taps home after some scrappy defending in the Man Utd area to give the home fans something to shout about.
  • 77'
    GOAL for Man Utd! Surely game over here now. It's a third for United and it's Marcus Rashford who puts the gloss on scoreline with a lovely finish.
  • 70'
    United double sub: Rashford on for Greenwood and Maguire on for Cristiano Ronaldo.

  • 62'
    GOAL for United! Two for United and they look to be heading for all three points now! Mason Greenwood finishes off a lovely move, having been played in by Bruno Fernandes. Much better from the visitors since half time.
  • 60'
    Hand ball by Christian Norgaard.
  • 57'
    Corner awarded to Man Utd.

Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester United en el 55'
  • 55'
    GOAL for Man United! Deadlock broken and it's Anthony Elanga with the goal for Man Utd! He controls a ball beautifully in the area and lifts a header over Lossl to give Utd the lead with their first attempt on target.
  • 52'
    Foul by Alex Telles on Mbeumo.
  • 50'
    Corner awarded to Man Utd.
  • 47'
    United out of the blocks quickly, a Bruno Fernandes cross picks out Cristiano Ronaldo, but his effort clips the crossbar. Lucky escape for Brentford...
  • 46'
    We're back under way at Brentford! The home side will be looking to build on an impressive first half. United need a lot more going forward...
  • 45'
    HT: Brentford 0-0 Man Utd! No goals as we reach the break in the capital. Man Utd have struggled going forward and failed to register a shot on target in the first half. At the other end, David De Gea has made at least three great saves to keep out Brentford, who will feel they deserve to be in the lead.
  • 45'
    2 minutes added on!
  • 45'
    Elanga earns a corner for United.
  • 43'
    Plenty for Ralf Rangnick to think about as half-time edges closer here. Brentford have been on top in this first half and while United have had plenty of possession, it's been a reasonably comfortable night so far for the Bees' defence.
  • 38'
    Foul by Scott McTominay on Toney.
  • 35'
    Ivan Toney is caught offside.
  • 32'
    Corner for Brentford, conceded by De Gea.
  • 31'
    What a save from De Gea, it's another great save with his feet to deny Jansen again. Ivan Toney is there for the follow-up but his shot is deflected onto the post!
  • 30'
    Foul by Canos on Alex Telles on the left wing.
  • 30'
    United seem to have weathered that Brentford storm from a few minutes ago, when they could easily have gone behind. They're passing the ball around much better without creating any real openings.
  • 25'
    Diogo Dalot right footed shot from outside the box is close, but misses to the right.
  • 22'
    Mbeumo is flagged for offside.
  • 21'
    Foul by Lindelof on Toney.
  • 20'
    65% of the possession for Man Utd so far, but it's Brentford who have been much more of a threat. The Bees have already had five attempts on goal to United's one...
  • 17'
    Cristiano Ronaldo wins a free kick on the left wing.
  • 16'
    Sergi Canos tries a through ball, but Vitaly Janelt is caught offside.
  • 14'
    Bech left footed shot from the left side of the box is blocked by Alex Telles.
  • 13'
    Three corners in a row for Brentford.
  • 12'
    What a save from the Spanish goalkeeper! Real chance for the home side and it's a superb save from David De Gea with his foot to keep out Mathias Jensen. The Bees swarming all over Man Utd here...
  • 10'
    United have settled now and looking dangerous. Anthony Elanga has a free header, it's from some way out and from a narrow angle, but it produces a decent save from Lossl in the Brentford goal.
  • 8'
    Two corners in a row awarded to United.
  • 3'
    Elanga is penalised for handball.
  • 2'
    Fast start by the home side here, noise in the stadium is loud...

    Here we go then, they're under way at the Brentford Community Stadium!
