United had earlier led 2-0 and 3-1, netting through the returning Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay. The win, their first Premier League success of 2024, moved United up to seventh in the Premier League standings, one point behind sixth-placed West Ham United.

Here's how the United players rated, Andre Onana, did not have many testing attempts to deal with in the first half and was indebted to Lisandro Martinez for avoiding another clanger. Let in more saveable goals. Diogo Dalot, reaffirmed his status as first-choice right-back with a performance reminiscent of the first half of last season. Wolves had little joy down his side. Raphael Varane, a better defender with Lisandro Martinez next to him. Read the danger time and again but too easily done by Pedro Neto for the equaliser.

Lisandro Martinez organised, communicated and his mere presence elevated the performance level of teammates. Spared Onana with a vigilant clearance. Luke Shaw, Showed why he makes such a huge difference with his overlapping runs and one led to Rasmus Hojlund's goal.

Second Half

Reined in his attacking in the second half. Casemiro, booked in the third minute but then the Casemiro of last season resurfaced. Serenaded on two separate occasions by the United fans but gave away a penalty. Kobbie Mainoo, acquitted himself well again and is benefiting from playing with Casemiro and earned approval from teammates deep into the second half. And what a goal. Alejandro Garnacho, switched the ball for the second goal but wasted some good openings. For once, one of the weaker performers.
