From the moment the enigmatic Anthony Martial scored just after the half-hour, Manchester United lived in a squeaky posterior time that lasted until Alejandro Garnacho’s 94th‑minute breakaway goal.
Wolves had refused to be cowed throughout and it was from one of their attacks that Erik ten Hag’s team countered. An Aaron Wan-Bissaka header in his own area came to Luke Shaw, whose hooked pass found Antony, who relayed the ball to Bruno Fernandes. The arch-playmaker’s pass was weighted perfectly into Garnacho, on as a substitute for a first appearance since a foot injury in March.
