Brentford v Manchester United result: Rashford snaps goal drought as United reignite top-four push with win at Brentford

Greenwood, with his sixth goal of the season, puts daylight between the teams! Ronaldo's brilliant chest-pass allows Fernandes to run through on goal, he selflessly looks up and rolls it to Greenwood who taps into an empty net.

Much, much better from Man Utd.

Here's the moment the deadlock was broken...

United are playing with purpose now and McTominay forces Brentford's debutant goalkeeper into a save. Lossl looks low on confidence as he makes a mess of what should be a routine stop but ultimately keeps it out of his net.

Elanga scores his first Premier League goal of the season to give Manchester United the lead!

Fred spots the run of Elanga and picks him out brilliantly with a beautiful cross. The teenager keeps his cool and his cushion header nestles into the back of the net.

Brentford may well be made to rue their missed opportunities!

Jensen tries to lob De Gea with a shot from the halfway line but it's never troubling the United goalkeeper.

The flag stays down as Ronaldo pounces on a loose ball, he's trying to pick out a team mate with a cross but Brentford have enough men back to deal with it, forcing it behind for a corner.

United are caught out on the counter-attack from their corner as Mbeumo drives Brentford forward, it's a two-vs-one situation and he slides it into the path of Jensen. It's a poor finish from the Dane and De Gea makes a routine save.

Will these missed chances come back to haunt Brentford?

Fernandes floats a cross to the far post, Ronaldo watches it all the way and attacks it with a looping header. It crashes off the top of the bar and Brentford survive.

United have made a fast start to the second half.

Brentford get the second half underway!

Manchester United are only level at the break thanks to the heroics of David De Gea, who made two fine stops to deny Mathias Jensen.

Ralf Rangnick's side haven't been able to cope with Brentford's energy.

Telles delivers, Lingard is there at the near post but Toney - once again - wins the header.

It's fair to say that United have created next to nothing so far and Ronaldo has been a spectator.

Two minutes will be added on at the end of the first half.

The Brazil international returns to the field and will indeed be fine to continue.

Telles falls awkwardly following an aerial battle and requires treatment but should be OK.

Toney looks to feed the run of Mbeumo but his team mate is unable to bring the ball under his control.

United have had the lion's share of possession but it's Brentford who look much more threatening and only for De Gea they may well be two goals to the good already.

De Gea is almost single-handedly keeping United level! Brentford carve the visitors open with a rapid counter-attack, Jensen - once again - is released, this time by Toney. He opts to side-foot it low but De Gea sticks out a boot to make the save.

Toney is there on the follow-up but his shot is deflected wide by Varane.

Fernandes bends a devilish cross into the Brentford penalty area but Toney is back to fulfil his defensive duties, clearing with a header.
