Man Utd vs Wolves LIVE RESULT: Rashford scores last minute deflected winner for Red Devils – latest reaction

MAN UTD have moved up to second in the Premier League with a crucial win over Wolves.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men created little in the match but Marcus Rashford came up trumps in the 93rd minute with a deflected strike into the bottom corner.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    67. United are looking out of ideas, having been severely restricted in opportunities by a well-drilled Wolverhampton Wanderers.

    Indeed, the home side's only attempt on target remains Bruno Fernandes' close range volley in the 34th minute.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    64. United play on with Podence down in discomfort.

    Bailly, Pogba and Fernandes combine before the latter crosses for Rashford, who gets under the ball and heads over.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opts for another change, and throws on Martial for Greenwood.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    61. Tantalising from Traore. The forward comes in off the right, and beats Fernandes and Shaw in the blink of an eye.

    He then steps up a lovely cross towards the far post that has Moutinho interested but unable to reach.

    Raul Jimenez would love to have been on the end of that delivery.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    59. Bruno Fernandes receives a pass, and immediately finds his compatriots upon him.

    Neves, Moutinho and Podence swarm around the United midfielder, who has nowhere to go, and the visitors promptly reclaim the ball.

    That's something Wolves have done really well tonight.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    57. The Pogba chip over the defence to Rashford almost brought dividends in the first half so the Frenchman goes for it again here.

    It's not a bad attempt but Patricio reads it well and rushes out to claim the dropping pass.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    55. A first Wolves substitution. Vitinha's first Premier League start is over as he is replaced by Daniel Podence.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    53. Classic Adama Traore.

    The Wolves forward uses skill and strength to get beyond Matic, only to then sprints sideways, a move that means he is immediately faced by Matic again when he turns back towards goal.

    Undeterred, Traore takes the simple option, a pass to Neto that he accidentally knocks out of play.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    50. Rashford is well dealt with again, this time by Hoever.

    The young Dutchman does brilliantly to dispossess the United forward on the near touchline, and then bursts forward with intent.

    Rashford, clearly frustrated at the last couple of minutes, rushes back to trip Hoever. It earns him the first yellow card of the game.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    48. Matic drops deep to pick up possession from De Gea, and attempts to start another attack.

    It's over in a flash, however, as Rashford shows too much to Neto, and loses out in a thumping challenge.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    47. ...and whips it right-footed into the danger area, but Neves heads it away before Traore wallops it into the stand.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    46. As anticipated, it's Luke Shaw on for Alex Telles, and the substitute immediately wins a free-kick in the left wing position.

    Bruno Fernandes stands over it...

  • PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
    THE ACTION RESTARTS!

  • ROMAIN EMPEROR

    Romain Saiss was dominant in both areas during the first half, and an impressive 45 minutes is backed up by his numbers.

  • UNITED LOOKING TO THE LEFT

    Luke Shaw is out warming-up during the half-time break which would suggest his imminent arrival, but it would be an all the more surprising move given United's approach in the opening 45 minutes.

    The home side are continually looking for Alex Telles and Marcus Rashford on the left side with the former peppering the Wolves box with crosses. More than 50% of United's play has come down that flank.

  • HT: MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    Just like back in February, it's goalless again at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes passed up Manchester United's best chance from five yards, but Wolves have otherwise kept the hosts at bay while looking a real threat on the break.

  • PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
    THAT'S THE HALF-TIME WHISTLE!

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    45. A real opportunity for Wolves goes begging.

    The visitors have been the better side in this first half, and could be going in at the break a goal up if Pedro Neto had got his pass right.

    Spearheading a two-on-one counter-attack. the Portuguese forward simply needs to feed Traore but underhits the through ball and allows Bailly to recover.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    43. Traore and Maguire wrestle for a loose ball that must have registered something on the Richter scale.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    41. Sir Alex Ferguson is spotted in the Old Trafford stands, complete with a face mask straight out of the Manchester United superstore.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    39. Now it's De Gea's turn to make a smart save!

    The United goalkeeper keeps his wits about him as Saiss flicks Neto's set-piece centre towards the near post, and manages to comfortably push the ball away to safety.

    With no conventional striker on the pitch, the Wolves defender is continuing to prove himself a real goal threat.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    38. Smashing skill from Rashford sees him nutmeg Neves inside the area before going down dramatically under the non-challenge from Moutinho.

    As Jonathan Moss waves play on, Wolves are immediately on the counter-attack where Traore (advantage played) and Neto are both fouled.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    35. Fernandes must score! Saved!

    United's main man is first to Greenwood's lovely left-footed cross from the right, meeting it on the volley at the far post.

    It's point-blank range for the Portuguese playmaker, but his strike is straight at Rui Patricio while Cavani is unable to turn in the rebound.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    33. An audacious pass from Pogba opens up the Wolves defence for the first time.

    The midfielder's chipped pass over the visiting backline finds Rashford on the run, but the forward fails to control and the ball trickles just over the touchline.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    30. The artificial crowd noise can't cover up Pedro Neto's scream after he collides with Matic off the ball.

    VAR take a further look at the incident, but there's nothing in it as the Portuguese forward runs into the midfielder's chest.

  • MAN UTD 0-0 WOLVES

    27. Matic causes panic inside the Wolves penalty area with a cross that Cavani gets on the end of, but is unable to direct goalwards.

    Shortly afterwards, Ait-Nouri has a wild swing of a shot with his right-foot that just about goes out for a goal kick rather than a throw-in.
