Manchester United have taken a late lead against Wolves as Erik ten Hag’s men search for their fifth consecutive win in all competitions.
Ahead of the game, Ten Hag made a bold move as he dropped Marcus Rashford to the bench, revealing that it was a disciplinary action.
In his place, youngster Alejandro Garnacho started and the Argentinian had a golden chance to score in the first half before being taken off at half-time.
Rashford made sure to continue his fine form and when United needed a goal, it was him they looked to. And with roughly 15 minutes to go, the breakthrough would come, as seen below.
