On a day when all the strikers were in good form, Man Utd "transformed" with a fast and effective playing style. After only 5 minutes of play, Rasmus Hojlund assisted Marcus Rashford to score against Wolves. In the 22nd minute, Hojlund continued to make his mark with a lucky goal. The ball hit the home defender's foot, hit the Danish player's knee and flew into the net, bringing the score to 2-0 for MU.
Hojlund has scored and assisted in back-to-back Premier League games. At 20 years and 362 days, Hojlund is the youngest United player to do so since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2007, when the Portuguese superstar was just 21.

In the first half, MU scored two more goals against the home team, Hojlund's turn and shot, and Casemiro's header in the 45th and 45+3rd minutes. Both were ruled out by VAR for offside.
In the second half, Wolves unexpectedly reduced the score to 1-3 after Casemiro's mistake in the 71st minute. The Brazilian star committed a foul in the penalty area, creating an opportunity for Pablo Sarabia to easily defeat Andre Onana. Immediately after making the mistake, Casemiro was replaced by Scott McTominay. In the first opportunity, the Scottish player headed the ball into the Wolves net, restoring the 2-goal gap for MU.
However, MU still pushed their formation too high, and then conceded a goal after a sharp counterattack in the 90+5 minute. From the situation where Antony lost the ball, Pedro Neto finished, leaving Onana rooted to the spot.
In the 90+7 minute, young star Kobbie Mainoo made Man Utd fans at Molineux Stadium burst into emotion with a solo run through a series of players, before curling the ball into the far corner, defeating goalkeeper Jose Sa, sealing a 4-3 victory for the Red Devils of Manchester.
MU had their first away win after 4 draws and losses, and rose to 7th place in the Premier League with 35 points, 8 points behind 4th place Tottenham.
