Yoane Wissa (Mbeumo, 76) – N/R, Struggled to have much of an impact on the game after being brought on. AP
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David De Gea 7. Awkward high ball dealt with early on in the rain and alert for an Eriksen shot. Saved well from the excellent Eriksen on 55 minutes and again from Toney a few minutes later. EPA
Diogo Dalot 6. Perfect pass to Ronaldo on two minutes and another for Elanga on eight which led to the opening goal. End product questionable but combined well with Ronaldo and hit the cross bar – though offside was given. Reuters
Victor Lindelof 7. A clean sheet for his defence and his best moment was when he read a 56th minute Brentford attack well to head the ball out of danger. PA
Raphael Varane 7. Toney was a handful for him and Brentford’s players held him back to execute a free-kick. Then scored his first United goal, sweeping in a corner in front of the Stretford End. EPA
Alex Telles 6. Had to concentrate as Brentford’s wingbacks pushed up against him. Apologised to his teammates after being robbed of the ball in his own area by Toney. Ball headed against his hand and saw penalty appeals, while his corner set up the third. EPA
Nemanja Matic 7. Reliable in his final appearance at Old Trafford. A lovely scooped pass to Fernandes on 52 minutes was the highlight, that and being applauded off by fans and players. Booked. PA
Scott McTominay 5. Passed ball straight to a yellow shirt during Brentford’s best moment of pressure, but then won possession after 79 minutes and drove forward before giving it to Ronaldo when he could have had a shot himself. Getty Images
Juan Mata 8. Almost certainly playing at Old Trafford for the last time, he deserved his start after some impressive substitute cameos. Shot wide after being set up by Ronaldo. Then involved in the best move of the match which saw Ronaldo score but it was disallowed. Lovely footballer. Needs to be playing every week. Getty Images
Bruno Fernandes 6. First goal in 11 games and he was up for it. United haven’t scored enough this season and the goal difference is a pitiful five after 35 games. Shot wide having been set up by Ronaldo soon after. Getty Images
Anthony Elanga 7. Got to the byline to cross to Fernandes for the first goal. Had space against a mediocre Brentford team. Still improving and one of the bright spots for United this season. AP Photo
Cristiano Ronaldo 9. On it tonight, he even tracked back at one point. Struck a 23rd minute free-kick on target. Cleverly backheeled a chance for Mata on 32. Won a penalty superbly, then converted it in front of the Stretford End for his 18th league of the season. Top performance. Reuters
SUBS: Fred 6 (on for Matic). One of the better players in a poor season for United. Positive that he’s back. Reuters
Edinson Cavani 5 (on for Elanga). He’s been a huge disappointment, picking up a vast salary while barely being fit to play. PA
Phil Jones 5 (on for Mata). Likely to be his last appearance at Old Trafford. The fans sang his name, he had a chance to score, but best for all parties that he moves on. Reuters
BRENTFORD RATINGS: David Raya - 5, Was lucky to see Ronaldo’s goal ruled out, while his passes put Brentford’s defenders under pressure at times. Made a good save to deny Dalot, although that also turned out to be offside. Had no chance of stopping Ronaldo’s penalty. AP Photo
Mads Roerslev - 5, Looked very uncomfortable whenever called upon defensively in the first half, with United’s attackers getting away from him with ease at times. Looked more confident in the second half. AP Photo
Kristoffer Ajer - 5, Delivered a cross that troubled De Gea but had times where he was caught out with United pushing the ball behind him, including Matic’s ball for a Fernandes chance. PA
Pontus Jansson - 5, Did well to stop Ronaldo when it looked like he might get through and put good pressure on United’s attackers in the first half. Was grateful for Raya tipping the ball wide after it seemed he might have deflected Ronaldo’s pass into his own net, but wasn’t so lucky when Varane’s shot went in off him moments later. Reuters
Mads Bech Sorensen - 5, Did enough to stop Elanga reaching a cross in the early stages but couldn’t keep up with him moments later as the Swede assisted the opener. His long throws didn’t cause too many problems on this occasion. EPA
Rico Henry - 3, Fired an early shot over the crossbar. Had a narrow escape after being put under pressure by Elanga. Was then nudged off the ball by Ronaldo and retaliated by conceding a penalty and wasn’t strong enough when defending against Varane at a corner as the Frenchman scored. Getty Images
Vitaly Janelt - 6, Put in some good work in the middle and was unlucky to see his pass cut out when trying to lead a counter. Getty Images
Christian Norgaard - 6, Overhit his pass when a good opportunity opened up for Brentford, but had positive moments including a good pass that created a chance for Toney. Reuters
Christian Eriksen - 7, Showed an outstanding range of passing from the very beginning as he found Mbeumo, with another picking out Ivan Toney. Saw his free-kick attempt parried away. Didn’t impact the game quite as much in the second period. Getty Images
Bryan Mbeumo - 6, Rose well but headed wide and hit the side netting after beating Fernandes. Almost found Eriksen with a good cross. EPA
Ivan Toney - 5, Headed a good chance over, but put in a lot of work and linked play well at times. Made a complete mess of his strike after spinning around the back. Saw a decent shot well saved by De Gea, but didn’t manage to connect with Eriksen’s cross in the latter stages. EPA
Mathias Jensen (Norgaard, 71’) – N/R, Hit a good shot but it didn’t trouble De Gea as it was blocked well. Getty Images
