Manchester United clashed heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a decent start to the game and scored the opening goal in the fifth-minute thanks to Marcus Rashford’s effort. Rasmus Hojlund doubled Man United’s advantage just 17 minutes later as Erik ten Hag’s men went into the half-time break with a 2-0 lead.
Pablo Sarabia got a goal back for the home team in the 71st minute from the penalty spot before Scott McTominay put Man United 3-1 up on the night. However, Wolves came roaring back thanks to a goal each from Max Kilman and Pedro Neto in the latter stages of the contest. Still, Kobbie Mainoo ended up winning the game for the Red Devils as he scored in the seventh minute of injury-time. The match ended with the Mancunian outfit earning a dramatic 4-3 win away from home.
