Manchester United were reunited with victory in the Premier League after completing the best first half in a long time (3-4) in their visit to Wolverhampton. An achievement that opens as soon as the game starts Marcus Rashford, surprise starter after last-night revelry last week in Belfast, and the youths were shut down Kobbie Mainoo, at 18 years old, at a discount after continued defensive fragility put three points at risk for the ‘red devils’ in a second half of true madness.
In Lisandro Martínez and CasemiroAfter recovering from their injuries, United gained momentum and dominated the first half with aggressive and fast play, giving only one chance to Matheus Cunha.
Great first half for United
In addition, Erik ten Hag’s team showed an efficiency that was repeatedly lacking. Rashford took four minutes to respond to the criticism and talk on the field when he scored 0-1 with a good inside hit after receiving a delayed ball in other words Rasmus Hojlund.
On United’s second coming it was 0-2, though fortunately. Rashford threw deep to Luke Shaw, who crossed from the byline Hojlund rebounded it after some rebounds on rival players (22′).
Scoring opportunities
United, vastly superior, managed to extend their lead with a perfect first half. Casemiro and Raphaël Varane had chances and both Hojlund and the Brazilian had their goals disallowed for offside.
But after the break Wolves reacted and United’s ghosts reappeared. André Onana made a mistake with a crossMax Kilman headed and Lisandro Martínez avoided the goal on the line (48′).
Sarabia reacted, from a penalty
And, although José Sá prevented Hojlund from scoring with his foot, Onana miraculously stopped a shot in his face from Craig Dawson, after jumping past Varane, from entering his goal (57 ‘). But the Wolves had already smelled blood and entered the game with an punishment from Casemiro to Pedro Neto that he converted the recently entered Pedro Sarabia (71′).
Scott McTominay seems to have sentenced on the first ball he touched, on the way to a corner (75′), but no. United have once again been a defensive disaster by conceding Kilman made it 2-3 with a corner after receiving the first shot from Dawson in the small area (85′).
end of madness
The crazy ending, with unexpected twists. In stoppage time, United allowed themselves to be inexplicably tied up in a counter attack born from a corner in favor and Pedro Neto finished off a shot at Onana’s short post.
United are lucky to have the young man Kobbie Mainoo on the next play created a great goal by himself, with the pipe and cutout, before putting a thread impossible for José Sá. A goal that puts the ‘red devils’ in seventh place, eight points away from the Champions League positions.
