After their 1-0 defeat against Everton, Ralf Rangnick's men had already made up their minds that next season they would only enjoy the UEFA Champions League on television.

However, with today's victory over the Bees, Cristiano Ronaldo's club may now have a small chance, but first and foremost a chance to return to the Champions League.

Here's how Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo beat Brentford

The match started with a hard-fought start, as the first goal was almost scored in the 10th second of the match.

Following a pass from Eriksen to Toney, the Bees almost scored the first goal but Alex Telles prevented the first of the night, so David de Gea and Cristiano Ronaldo breathed a sigh of relief, but did not miss the opportunity to scold their teammates for the oversight.

And then, in the second minute of the match, Cristiano controlled the ball with his chest, a bit forced, which prevented him from finishing in front of David Raya while the United striker was completely alone.

With this level of intensity, the goal was not long in coming, and so it was when in the 9th minute of the match, Elanga received a through ball after the run he had started and sent a pass to the penalty spot, which was finished into the net by Bruno Fernandes.

Thus, the score was 1-0 and the scoreboard would not move again until the second half of the match. 

And it was precisely in the second half of the match, in the 59th minute, when United tried an attack that started from the right flank, with Cristiano trying to enter the area, but he could not make it as he was knocked down.

And as a result of this foul, a penalty was decreed, which was taken by CR7 himself, making the score 2-0. 

And in the 72nd minute, a Manchester United corner kick became the 3-0 of the match, when Raphaël Varane managed to finish off the kick with his right foot, thus giving the Red Devils the victory. 

Manchester United dream of UEFA Champions League glory once more

After this important victory against the Bees, United will probably not be dreaming of winning the Premier League but of playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.

The Red Devils are in 6th place in the competition so if the Premier League were to end at this point, the Old Trafford side could play in the UEFA Europa League.

However, the club wants to aspire to more, and that is why they will be looking for more points in their next matches, in order to reach the tournament they are looking for.
