Match Preview: Wolverhampton vs Man United
Mason Greenwood continued his electric start to the season as his late strike snatched Manchester United a 1-0 victory at Wolves.
Greenwood’s third goal in three games made the hosts pay for a string of missed chances and also saw United set a new all-time English football record by extending their unbeaten away record to 28 matches. But United needed David De Gea’s sensational second-half stop from Romain Saiss to give them the platform for victory.
It capped a dramatic week at Old Trafford after United agreed a deal with Juventus to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the club, 12 years after he left for Real Madrid.
They rode their luck at Molineux as Wolves – who have now had 57 shots in the Premier League without scoring this season – suffered Groundhog Day. Bruno Lage’s side lost their opening two games 1-0 to Leicester and Tottenham and were left empty handed again.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared Francisco Trincao’s shot off the line, Raul Jimenez was denied by De Gea and Trincao missed a fine second-half chance. But United carved out victory against the run of play as they prepare to mark Ronaldo’s return.
