So that's all from me, make sure you stick around on Tribe for coverage of all your favourite sports, including Arsenal lining up against Bournemouth shortly. For now though, I'm Jonny Lawrence, and we'll see you next time.
So Brentford drop to 12th, but they can go home and regroup for the visit of Ipswich at least. United meanwhile jump to 10th, but have to head off to Fenerbahce next up, before coming back to the League down in London against West Ham.
Brentford simply fell off after the half. They only had two shots in the entire second half, and Onana ends the game with only one real save. Defensively they looked stretched at times, although their passing in tight areas remains a real positive.
You can feel the slightest of pressure eased on Ten Hag and United, but there's still a way to go for them. The first half looked to be pure frustration for them, especially being sucker-punched at the end with Pinnock's header sending them into the break one down. Half time proved a blessing though, and the second half saw them looking dangerous with almost every attack, with Garnacho, Hojlund and Fernandes all linking well.
The final whistle goes and cheers ring out around Old Trafford as United turn around a one goal deficit to take all three points.
90+6'
SAVE! One last chance as United break out from the back with Brentford all pushed forward. Rashford put Fernandes into the right channel of the box, but he has no support through the middle so opts to shoot. From almost no angle, he powers it straight at Flekken, who bats it away.
90+4'
SHOT! Mbeumo throws another big cross in from the left, but it's too deep and they do well just to keep it in. It's worked back around to Roerslev, who sends it in, but it's half cleared out as far as Carvalho, who pokes a weak shot wide.
90+2'
Mbeumo gets double teamed down in the corner, and Martinez wins the throw off him as well. Time ticking away for Brentford.
90+1'
One last change for the hosts, as Mazraoui comes on in place of Garnacho, who has been outstanding. He's going to slot in at left back, and United look to be playing a back five for the last few minutes.
