Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag faced another challenging match as his team went from being 2-0 up to a 3-3 draw against Wolves. The 18 years old Kobbie Mainoo scored a dramatic winner in the 96th minute. Sir Alex Ferguson watched the game alongside former United chief executive David Gill.

Despite Marcus Rashford’s impressive return to the team, United’s defensive vulnerabilities were evident as they conceded at least two goals for the fourth consecutive league game. The match featured a rollercoaster of emotions with Wolves staging a comeback and Mainoo’s late heroics securing a thrilling victory for United.

Rashford’s off-field issues were also a talking point but on the pitch he contributed significantly to United’s attacking play. Overall, the game showcased both the strengths and weaknesses of the Manchester United team under Ten Hag.
