Manchester United got their top-four push back on track with a 3-1 victory over Brentford on Wednesday night. SLInt MORE:
Ronaldo returned to the United line-up in place of Edinson Cavani who missed out completely, while Anthony Martial was back in the squad after sorting out his differences with Ralf Rangnick.
While United struggled to carve out chances, the hosts should have went ahead in the 32nd minute when Marcel Jensen was left one-on-one with De Gea who pulled off another vital save with his foot. That nearly changed shortly after the break when Ronaldo saw his looping header crash against the crossbar after getting on the end of Bruno Fernandes' cross.
The lead was doubled on the hour mark as a swift counter-attack started with Ronaldo playing in Fernandes who unselfishly teed up Mason Greenwood for the simple finish into an empty net.
