Manchester United 1 Wolves 0Marcus Rashford’s deflected stoppage-time strike secured Manchester United a hard-fought victory against Wolves and ensured Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men start 2021 second in the Premier League. Here Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood and Alex Telles all passed and moved with intent close to Rui Patricio’s goal. Better from United was a Rashford dart to the byline which presaged Telles’s cross skimming off Cavani’s head with Patricio’s goal gaping. After a Fernandes ball over the top to Rashford yielded nothing, Neto wasted a golden opportunity to play in Traoré: each moment summed up the half. Greenwood was taken off for the Frenchman but as United had created a paucity of chances Rashford and Cavani might have also been hooked.
