Kobbie Mainoo is progressing βgame by gameβ according to Erik ten Hag. His impact at Wolves showed traits of having played wide + even No 9 in the past. Most tellingly, he had serenity in the storm. Match piece from Molineux β¬οΈ #MUFC https://t.co/HF1QsP0ThF
π΄π Ten Hag: "Mainoo is just everything a modern midfielder needs to be". "It's wonderful to see and I hope he stays calm like he is, as he did with his goal as well. He is determined, he is a good character and I hope he keeps going with this progress". https://t.co/5kDqjE51QV

Ten Hag on lapses: "We have to hammer this out of the team. Such mistakes can't happen. What is asked in that moment is leadership on the pitch. We can't concede such goals. In the end that is one story, I have mixed feelings, I am pleased with the team performance." #MUFC
πΉ Man Utd left it very, very late to beat Wolves in the Premier League through Kobbie Mainoo π @johncrossmirror has just about caught his breath back to deliver his verdict #wolmun | #epl https://t.co/rNZKrktfm8
What a goal from Mainoo. What a player he is and what a player he is going to be.
Wolves 1-3 #MUFC McTominay's first touch? Not great conviction but couldn't have placed it better. Casemiro leapt up to celebrate + gave a big hug to Ten Hag. Manager's calls have worked tonight.
3-1 United. McTominay. #WWFC https://t.co/TQrk7wXZ4y
3-1 United. McTominay header. #WWFC https://t.co/TQrk7wXZ4y
Wolves 1-2 #MUFC Test of United's mettle now. It's a dive from Neto but Casemiro flicking his shin gives him reason to go down. Wolves will point to several similar decisions that have gone against them. Casemiro subbed straight away + chatting to Ten Hag as he walks off.
Garnacho, after that shank in the first half when trying to set up Rashford, has done really well to create three top chances in the opening of this season half. Fernandes, Casemiro, Hojlund not able to finish. #MUFC should be out of sight, but Wolves pushing.
Marcus Rashford rebounds from the brouhaha over his Belfast Nightclub antics by scoring after 5 minutes. The United fans had a song ready. β οΈπΆ "Rashford's on the piss, on the piss, Rashford's on the piss ... πΆππ» https://t.co/8pTLjmQlmf
Erik ten Hag's strongest side for the first time this season has produced the best half of the campaign. All about the response from Marcus Rashford, who has been excellent in several aspects, but the team playing with togetherness + purpose. Albeit, Wolves erratic. #MUFC
Could easily be 3-0 as Wolves switch off at a Bruno Fernandes free-kick and Casemiro has a free header, which he sends wide. #WWFC https://t.co/TQrk7wXZ4y
Wolves 0-2 #MUFC So clear Shaw was going to deliver in that position when teed up by Rashford. Great near-post run from Hojlund. It's what he's been crying out for all season. Superb move from back to front by United.
2-0 United. #WWFC
RASHFORD GOAL. Absolutely smashes it. π₯ https://t.co/cgMAErybjB
What a response from Marcus Rashford. The England international puts Manchester United in front after just five minutes at Molineux. #WWFC | #MUFC | #WOLMUN π₯ @footballontnt https://t.co/AYeCjPSdUb
Wolves 0-1 #MUFC Quite remarkable from Marcus Rashford. Superb finish. Erik ten Hag's selection at Molineux works for a second season in a row. Excellent move by United too.
